Default exhaust banging when warm

I would first of all like to say hello to everyone on the forum.
I have recently bought my 4th scoob an have fitted a full 3" rcm decat system, headers an up-pipe. When the car is cold everything is fine, as soon as the exhaust gets hot it bangs on a plate close to the rear diff. No matter how far i try to get it over it bangs on the plate once its hot. It also seems to shake when i let of the throttle. I can only wonder if when warm the rubber mounts become more flexible and give more play from side to side. Has anyone else had this problem an how was it resolved. Its driving me mad an im worried if i dont get it sorted it could cause some damage. Thanks in advance, Dave

You can get poly exhaust mounts that are alot stiffer and should hold it in place alot better.

Are the powerflex ones any good? I have been looking at them as i thought that might help. Thanks for the speedy reply.

I've got no experience of them personally, but I think a few people on here have used them so maybe they'll chime in.
