Could it just be that one of your rubber exhaust hangers needs to be replaced? If it's not that, you could always try a 'rigged' solution: attach some heat resistant foam or rubber to the shock to cushion, use zipties or a bungie to hold the pipe. Just figure something out :) Just remember that exhaust gets very hot.
 






yea thats why i was asking, that tail pipe can get really hot, and if i have to rig it somehow, i was wondering what i could use.....

what material around the house might i find, or could easily purchase that would be heat resistant to those temps
