Clanging underneath? ^Update

    Not really much of a problem, just annoying. My saxo has a cat back on, i think from Powerflow.

    I've noticed when driving over bumps I sometimes hear a metal craking or clanging sound...so I jacked up the car and the only thing I noticed is on the id section one of the exhaust hangers is just about touching the underside of the car, and theres a mark where it seems to have caught, also on the backbox the rubbers seem quite stretched...

    Is there any way I could adjust the exhaust or get longer rubber mounts or something to stop it banging....

    Or if not is there anything else it could be?

    An update to this, I chopped the edge of the mount off which was catching on the underside of the car(its the centre sections mount) and now it seems to be vibrating on the underside :/

    I'm thinking it must be the fact the backbox hangers are tightly stretched and pulling the centre section upright, so I was going to get some longer or powerflex hangers, but this would surely cause the backbox to sit too low, is there any other way to solve the problem?

    Cheers

    Having had a look at the exhaust it seems that isn't my problem, well I don't think so anyway...

    I have also had a look at the ARB end plates, replaced the bolt that wasn't fully in(although was tight) and done the thing where you pull the ARB out a bit, what else could be the problem?

    Cheers
