Default Banging tailpipes

I have been hearing a bad banging noise from where my exhaust hits the leaf springs. I have tried some stuff to stop it like taping up the leaf, and tightening down the exhaust bracket, but to no avail. I think the guy that put them in didn't know what he was doing. Do y'alls exhaust ride right up against the leafs? Like touching all the time? Is there anything I can do to stop the noise?
Thanks

Take it to a muffler shop or a welding shop and see if they can heat and bend the pipe.

Mine is really close, but doesnt bang. I had to bend some of the body to get them to come out the back. I put in some wood spacers along the body to hold it tight through the tunnel (havent even caught on fire yet).

Thanks, that was before I evened them up. I hate the way they were hanging uneven.

How old is the exhaust? Have you checked for a broken hanger? A muffler shop should be able to help you out, either by installing a better hanger or bending the pipe.
