big cam exhaust system shakes

I've got a bumpy cam and at 1000rpms it lopes so much that the cat smaks the heat sheild. It's really anoying. Is there a nother hanger I could install? Or should I just turn my idle up higher?

those heat shields are worthless. Replace it with something stiffer or pull it off if it bothers you that much. Don't turn up your idle for something like that. Fix the PROBLEM not avoid it.
