SLP Header Y-Pipe Clearance Q

I had a buddy of mine install 1 3/4" headers on my camaro. I have this annoyhing vibration on the passenger side floor board. Where the two tubes meet on the Y-pipe, is where it is rubbing. The pipe is actually touching the bottom of my car. Is there any way to move this y-pipe away from the floor board?

I just have the SLP Y-Pipe connected to the stock exhaust manifolds and the 3" Y-Pipe collector tube has about a 1/4" clearance from the bottom of the passenger floorboard. See if you could wedge a piece of heat resistant rubber or polyurethane in between the Y-Pipe and the floorboard to isolate the two.

Have a muffler shop cut it and rework it so it doesnt hit.
