Default Exhaust hitting panhard bar brace

My car is lowered (ford racing springs) and I've got the steeda panhard bar and brace. The exhaust pipe is hitting the brace while driving. It makes a really annoying sound. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. What can I do about it? Thanks!

Have you tried adjusting your exhaust? Although this did not happen after installing my panhard bar/springs, it was noted in Taco Bill's sticky as a potential issue and workaround.

I set it up so there is as much clearance as possible. It looks almost exactly like the set up in those pictures you posted, but with less clearance. And it hits right there. I got under the car and looked and you can see a distinct mark where the pipe and the brace are hitting.

Yep, I went through exactly the same thing on Drivers side after installing
Steeda panhard bar and brace. Fixed the clunking sound by using 3 washers as spacers on the one side of the bar, which created a little more distance between the bar and exhaust pipe. It's Absolutely quiet now. Hope this helps.....
