Default loose Borla exhaust

I have a Borla exhaust that moves around quite a bit.

Is there some kind of piece/part that can be used to hold the exhaust in place?

I heard of a Toyota part, some kind of exhaust ring, that will do the trick but I have been unable to find it.

Any help is appreciated.

I had the exact same problem. The ring that your talking about is a multi layered rubber/metal grommet that is designed to hold the exhaust tightly in place against the pipe coming from the cat. The problem is that it gets so hot that it melts the rubber from between the metal hoops, leaving you with a loose exhaust. I went through 2 replacements before I decided to bite the bullet and just have the joint welded. Forty dollars later, and I couldn't be happier. The exhaust sounds much smoother and no rattling or movement in the pipe at all!
