Exhaust rattle vibrations...annoying and need help?

Hey guys. I've had the cattman catback on for a while now and it's always bothered me how the tip on the muffler is so off. I took hose clamps the other day and put it around the muffler hanger to pull it to the right.

Everything worked but I was getting crazy vibrations and rattling from the rear of the car. I looked up to see what it was and there is a tiny gap between the exhaust pipe and car body. When I accelerate the exhaust rattles quickly against the body.

Question: Is there any fireproof/heatproof material I can wedge between the pipe and body? I'll then tighten the hose clamps to hold it there and I'm sure it'll work.



Thanks!

yeah sure there is, you can get you some of the turbo manifold wrap to take care of that and just hold it on there with some hose clamps...make sure you soak it really good with water to help form it and when it drys it will be nicely formed.
