get underneath, loosen the exhaust clamp, and push the end of the mid section up away from the beam, then what I did was wrap some carpet around the beam with cable ties so that if the pipe did touch it didnt make a sound,

if your putting carpet round, make sure to put it underneath the handbrake cable and make sure it doesnt interfere with it

thats what I did, took me 20 mins and I never heard a peep out the exhaust again

cutting the lip of the arches use a dremmel tool shouldnt take too long. and for the exhaust all i did was turn the u clamp 180 degrees and it stopped knocking the axle.
