Rattles with a Hooker cat-back

Has anyone else had this problem? It looks like it is too low coming over the axle and barely touching the panhardrod. Has anyone else added another hanger, or anything?

Yeah it's pretty bad with the car in gear and my foot on the brake just ideling. But going down the road or just in neutral it's quiet. I wish I knew of another spot to put a hanger to keep it up a little higher.

Just monkey with the hangers a bit to lift the pipe up a little. Proper over-axle/panhard rod clearance is a concern w/ basically every aftermarket exhaust. No rattles on my Hooker system after careful setup.

I think I may have found the problem with mine...one of the hangers is too long on the top part and the excess is causing the noise so I just to cut that extra piece off I guess
