hello all hope someone can help me

i havea sportex exhaust system on the nova and it has started to knock and rattle about, i think its knocking on the petrol tank where the pipe bends up to go over the rear beam, i have tried adjustin it in all different ways which has not worked, is there anything else i can do or perhaps put in place to stop it knocking, it's worse when idling

any help appreciated, thanks

check the rubber mounts on the center box one of mine broke with my sportex system and that made it bang on the tank.

It has been on for the last 6 months without banging apparently.
