Wow just... Wow your comment was about as useful as **** on a bull.....
Have you checked to see if it isnt the lower LCA hopping up from the bump and hitting the exhaust pipe?
I have this prob on my stock axleback it pops off the rubber hinge and drops down half an inch making it just enough so that when I hit a bump the lower LCA hits the piping above it.
My advice would be to check and see if you can lift the muffler up more somehow placing a s2000 muffler on there shouldnt be that much of an issue since people can fit the RSX and new SI mufflers on there without any hitting using very little modification.

Sorry for jacking your thread, but im have this issue on my sedan, greddy cat-back, the axle back is hitting the LCA when going over speed bumps and pot holes. Would getting new hanger mounts help?
