Default problems wit gta's

My gta's have a rattle when i take off from a start or under light acceleration. When i crawl under the car i can hit the drivers side muffler or the mid pipe and i get a rattle. It does not seem to be the muffler i think its the rubber hanger brackets. you guys have any ideas?

The rear hanger on the drivers side of a GTA muffler is sometimes too long and it can hit the metal bumper. If it is hitting you can try to reposition the muffler or cut a 1/4' off the hanger.

80% of axleback rattles are the clamps.
