+1 on the exhaust hangers. just had this same problem, it's the hangers being pushed too far into the brackets. take it to an exhaust shop, have them use a torch to heat the base of the hanger, and tap the hanger with a hammer (from the rear tapping towards the front). this will bend the hanger back a bit, giving it some clearance so it's not rubbing the bracket. you'll also notice less exhaust vibrations since they won't be transfered to the chassis anymore. good luck

I have no pics at the momeny.... but what it actually was old weatherstripping off of a 1958 vettethat I used lol. I cut it open so that it would fit around the rod thing (from the tip, through the hanger), and rapped it with electrical tape. It has more of a foam-ish feel than rubber hose. hopefully this helps.

The piece that is welded to the tip, which goes through the bracket, just below thatis what I wrapped. Some people have cut out a piece of the bracket, so that it doesnt rub anymore- This is the alternative. I didnt actually wrap the part that goes INTO the bracket, I wrapped the upward sloping rod that looks sort of like this: /
that part is hitting the bracket! which if you're imagination is good enough, the bracket looks like this: []
This part goes through the hanger: -
So in summation,I wrapped this ~~~[>/-[]-

sounds like a lot of trouble.......my shop performed my fix in 2 minutes, for $5, and it's permanent. wrapping something around the hanger may not last too long if it rubs right through it......
