Default Rattling WS2 Axleback after install

Just installed a WS2 exhaust for my DC2 and love it, but I have one issue.

The muffler is hitting the body of my car somewhere (I believe at the top) and it's making an annoying rattling/clattering sound, especially when I'm idle. When I push down on the muffler, the noise stops, but after a while, it starts making that unbearable sound again. When I hit the accelerator and rev over about 1500RPM, it stops...

Is there any way to remedy this? I was hoping I could put something in between the muffler and the body of the car, but what can withstand the heat?

Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

the hanger bushing may be to short try getting a longer one, this would drop the muffler a bit and hopefully stop the nioise?

do you guys know where i can pick up these hanger bushings? i'm assuming they are the black rubber ones...where do they sell longer ones? any help would be great. or maybe i can just cut them lower?

Don't cut them. Just go to your local muffler shop and they should have them.
