Mid-Pipe Rattle! Help!

MID-PIPE FROM HELL! HELP! MID-PIPE FROM HELL! HELP! MID-PIPE FROM HELL! HELP!

Today I lost it while driving to work. I forgot the name of the mid-pipe, but the Farking Think won't stop rattling! The factory hanger needs to be longer and it's smacking against the crossmember all the time in first gear with the most annoying rattle ever!

HOW THE F@CK DO YOU MAKE IT STOP?!?!

Please Help!

My Racing Beat midpipe was hitting a cross member and it was the power plant frame that was out of adjustment

have a muffler shop pull it in the air. it should be obvious to an expert the remedy to your rattle/scraping issue.....my turboXs midpipe was ok but their friking catback setup is too low at the rear axle.its taught me to be aware of unfumilar back road excursions and speed bumps but I still bottom out at times.........BUT I LOVE THE SOUND, HEH HEH.....
