Exhaust is banging against my bumper, ideas?

Hey,

Well I have tracked down the banging noise I get going over speed bumps and round bends. Its my exhaust tip hitting against the plastic surround, also one of my mates have noticed my exhaust moves quite a bit when driving it. Now i noticed on the rail bit on the exhaust that goes through that rubber holder it is shiney. Which shows it is moving up and down that which i suppose is moving it from the centred position.

So i used a jubilee clip to try and hold it in place so it could not slide. It has stopped a bit of the banging from it but i feel it could still be moving too much.

Any ideas?

The clip is holding so I don't think I will bother with re welding another bracket. How would one work out whether a rubber holder is worn?

Also look a tad naff.

Would rather sort it out properly but thanks for the suggestion.

malc30,

Nope it is from the exhaust tip from htting my bumper, been able to recreate the sound perfectly via just moving the exhaust by hand and hitting the bumper.

So just a couple of new rubber holders then?

Wel it was happening only on corners and speed bumps, same places each time aswell. Also you can see some evidence of the exhaust tip hitting the black surround for the exhaust. Though i will still do that check as it wont take long to do.

If it helps it started after doing some spirited driving...
