Had this problem pretty much since I've had the car now and I'm sick of it...

Basically my exhaust is wobbling around when I drive and knocks the underside of the car (rear beam I think).So I can hear it knocking pretty much constantly,tried wrapping where its hitting with exhaust hanger rubber but this burnt off...

So I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions that I could do to stop it,taken it to various exhaust places and even had it cut and re-welded back in place but it still knocks.Could I maybe wrap it in manifold wrap or any other kind of heat proof material?

Is it a standard exhaust or sports exhaust?

i sorted mine's by using really strong cable tie's on the backbox rubbers to pull the backbox up closer to the bumper and even wrapped a flame proof cloth round the rear beam so it does'nt clang on the beam too work's perfect even on really bit bump's
