lol this is how i fixed mine...

Goin on 2 years strong, still not sure how the hell its staying on there the way i drive and the places i go but it is. It's some thick rubber with 3 HD zip ties, the kind that never break lol. I did add a second piece so the pipe is completely cover all the way around, mostly to keep the zipties from melting.

Couldn't you just cut off tail pipe so it doesn't rub ?
