Exhaust fix
I have corsa sports and about to install headers. While apart, I would liken to correct an issue with the mufflers. (2006 C6, MN6)
They are fixed to a spring that allows some movement. The problem is, when you are driving, they jiggle around like a set of YKW's.
Anyone have a fix for this? I am thinking of a stainless bracket at top of springs to reduce movement.
These things are hypnotizing my freinds when they drive behind me.

How about a BRA!!! 
Seriously,We need to take a closer look at the rubber mounting tabs....
I was just thinking.....wonder if maybe some polyurethene bushing could be modded there to decrease the Jiggling( although it is kinda exciting )

Unless the frame bolts have come loose, there shouldn't be any movement. Do you have some sort of non-stock mounting arrangement?

)Ok, I took your advice. I rummaged through my wifes drawers and found an old nursing bra. All i did was pull the flaps open and "hang" the tips in the underwire and strapped to the existing frame mounts.
Works like a charm. Photos on the way.
