Unhappy magnaflow rattle

When i am driving my car and i go around a somewhat sharp curve my exhuast pipe rattles. I know it has to be banging on something close to the header, but i can't figure out how to stop it from moving. If you've had a similiar problem, i would greatly appreicate your help. Thanks!

vincenzobar is an unknown quantity at this point
it is hitting the sway bar atleast mine does. you need to raise it with adjustable hangers. they don't cost much. Mune rattle when i first start up and then if anyone is in my passanger seat. But i have a thermal R&D. so look closely at the thin bar behind the wheels.

what model is your car? I know on my old 99 ex, the cat would rattle at idle. Prolly a honeycomb or two inside the car broke off. Id say bring it to honda for some insight.

Mine rattled twice. One was the clamp right in the middle hitting a metal plate under the car, and the second was the first highflow cat was broken and needed to be replaced, but the shop I ordered it fixed it no problem.

If it's hitting the underside of the car, try facing the clamps in a different direction....? Mine only rattles when i'm idle. The tip shakes against the rear bumper but it only happens when the car is at an angle, like on a hill. You might consider paying money to get it welded. That should fix all your problems.
