Exhaust hitting subframe ANY IDEAS?

Hey guys! ok so im running a frankenstein exhaust set up for the powerbump and rumble and quietness.. HOWEVER things arnt going too well haha

RevWorks Header
Nameless over and front pipe + cat
perrin 2.5 exhaust

The problem was when i initally installed the over and front pipe, inorded for there NOT to be a rattle, i had mis aline the namess and the revworks. This ment exhaust fumes everytime i turn on my heater (dont get me wrong, i love the smell, but the S.O isnt so happy about getting the exhaust fume high haha)

So i had to re-adjust it so that it wont smell/leak, but now it rattles against the front subframe whenever i get to bumpy roads or when my FR side rolls over a pot hole/any bumps. I HATE IT!!! it makes me feel like my car is a fking KIA LOL

Anyways is there any solution for this?? is there any kinda thermal resistant padding i can stick on my subframe to keep the rattling noise away?
any input will be great! Thank you!

It's really funny you mention Kia, my previous car was an 08 spectra5sx and had a custom catback, and it hit my subframe until I finally had a solid exhaust hangar welded at the rear. also funny my first car was a 94 civic coupe.

I can't really help you but the wrap is a good idea.

P.s. my Kia had less rattles and issues in 60k miles than this car has had in 4k

You might consider taking some baling wire and pulling the pipe away from the subframe...

Wire, hammer, wrap? If something is designed right should not need to do any of this. Did you loosen and try to shift the OP etc? Modifying and all this chatter shouldn't be necessary to avoid any of the piping connecting any part of the chassis...just sayin'
