Exhaust rattle against sway......

My exhaust piping is rattling against my rear sway bar. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i could do to stop the rattle? Right now i have one of the rubber pieces from the stock sway against it to stop the rattle but this is causing some annoying vibrations. I was thinking something similiar to heat wrap but thicker. I need something that is thick enough to stop the rattling but will with stand the heat and not burn.

I had the same problem with my Flowmaster Exhaust.......I just took it to a muffler shop and got them to reroute the piping and I went ahead and had the piping done all the way up to the downpipe.........

what you need to do is get something to support the exhaust. Take it to a shop and have them do something for more support. I had mine done like that and it didnt rattle.

i used to have the same problem...it doesn't do it any more once they bent the piping, unless it rains. i have no clue, but the problem only comes when it rains ??

Mine does it do on bumpy roads, and I have the stock EX sway. Sometimes you can bend the whole exhaust a little, or the hangers, or try a different rubber hanger. Ya know what, I need to take my own advise and do this.
