Well I've finally decided to address this annoying issue. My h-pipe is sitting WAAAAYY to close to the tranny's crossmember. As a result, it knocks against it real bad anytime I hit a bump or anything. I've tried hammering on it to slide it over on the hangers, but to no avail. Can I wrap it with header wrap and just kinda pad it against the crossmember? Will this stop the knocking, or do I really need to try and move it over on the hangers? Is there an easy way to slide it over on the hangers? Do I need to loosen anything to do so? I need to fix this before tomorrow since I'm leaving for a week for my brother's wedding and I don't want it knocking around the whole time I'm gone. Thanks - Chris

Cut the hangers, and fab or bend them into a new position, reweld.

Or get a muffler shop to do it for $20.
