my exhaust is a little loose and smacks off a small crossmember about halfway back the car. Any ideas of what I can shove between the exhaust and the crossmember to shut it the hell up that wont catch on fire? I was thinking maybe a few old shop rags or something… :dunno: ---

Yeah, shop rags sound good. Look for the ones that are soaked in oil/grease as they will be lubricated and won’t let it squeak. :kekegay: -TJ ---

They wont have any grease on them. I was actually eyeing up some old dishrags. I _could_ go to the auto store and get some heat resistant stuff, but that would take energy and would cost money. ---

What if you just got some metal shim stock but wedged it in tight. Can take the heat but won’t rattle or vibrate. I guess if you don’t have any wire then you probably don’t have shims. :doh: How much space between the pipe & the crossmember? Like inches or fractions of an inch? ---

> [@Rustang JIM](#): > > the rubber hanger is on the frame. > how would that work. im talking about if its around the muffler area where the exhaust is loose… mine was a little lose, so all i did was take wire ties and slide them thru the rubbers that were attached to the muffler and wire tied to the frame, it moves a little bit, but not like before ---

unless teh rubber hangers barely fit in there they’ll still have some shimmy room and make noise. i think you’re on the right track with softer things, or figure out a way to bracket things back into place :dunno: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/quick-question/176035.md?page=2)
