Exhaust rattle near the resonator area?

[jtzako]

I recently installed the Solo High Flow cats and have a new rattle/vibration.
This rattle happens when the car is first started as the RPMs fall back down to idle and also if I rev the engine. The rattle happens on the down-swing of RPM not the way up.

I believe I have isolated it to where the resonator (L99) sits on/near the black cross brace.

So my question is this; What is a good way to deal with this?
Is there a way to add new hangers to the front portion of the exhaust to keep it off the brace? (or a pad of some sort that would be able to go there?)

Alot of guys have had to use washers and lower the brace 1/2inch or so.

I would try unbolting the coupler between your HF cats and your catback and press up on the exhaust system and while its pressed up you must re-tighten while something is holding up the exhaust side. It may help.

So far so good.. I loosened the clamps and used a Jack to push them up as high as they could go, then re-tightened. Also added a couple washers to each bolt on the brace. Initial tests suggest the rattle is gone.

Well, that first issue is gone but the exhaust still hits the brace when I an driving (from bumps in the road etc). I cant move it any further so I wonder if I can install some sort of pad, or maybe some clamps to keep the exhaust pipe from hitting that.
