Default 2.5" Piping problem

Hopefully get some help here. Gator was a great help to me awhile ago when I first came here about swapping out for this better exhaust.

Well, here is my problem, I'm getting a lot of vibration from the piping hitting the heat shield around the S turn in the exhaust as well as the piping hitting the lower A-Arm mount where it goes underneath the lower A-Arm for the rear Passenger's side wheel. I'm not quite sure what to do here. I thought perhaps of putting some high-heat rubber between the piping and heat shield and perhaps to put some around the A-Arm mount as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you'll do better by loosening the pipes from each other, adjusting the hangers, & supporting the pipes. Twist them into the best position before re-tightening the pipes. It can be a PITA trying to hold everything straight & level. Try stacking boxes or blocks of wood to hold everything.

It could be that the pipes hitting HERE is really caused by a stretched-out hanger over THERE. You have to kinda look at the entire system and how the hangers work together.
