Catback intermediate pipe hitting

got a little curious, so while my Zaino was drying, I got under the car to take a peek and see where my intermediate pipe was hitting.





What should I do to stop it from hitting?

I had the same problem. I wound up making a pad out of some header wrap (about 4 layers thick) and clamping it with the stainless screw type's. It hasn't worn through and it's been on there over a year.. quieted things down nicely.

I'm not sure what you're saying...you wrapped the pipe w/header wrap then put a clamp over it? Wouldn't the clamp hit before the header wrap does?

No, wrap the area that HITS with header wrap. Then, use band clamps to secure the header wrap to the pipe(on the sides of the contact area) I used the band clamps just to keep the header wrap from unraveling.
