Default Exhaust rubbing frame

My exhaust is rubbing the frame of the vehicle when making certain turns and also on start up. It has become extremely annoying and I would like to somehow silence this noise by padding it or wrapping the portion of the exhaust with a heat resistant product.

What do you guys recommend?

Bend the hangers, or unbolt the flanges slightly and roll it away from the contact point.

You can also try slightly longer rubber hangers, NAPA etc sell various configurations. Another option is to use the AP2 triangular rubber hanger the long way.

Misterx is right---time to renew the hanger. Napa is the best place to find assorted hangers.
The old hanger no longer support the position of the old adjustment.
