header rattling... what to do?

my truck has a set of hooker headers on it, that dont leak, and arent that old, but the driver side one rattles horribly when the truck is sitting at idle. whether in gear or neutral it just makes the truck sound like something fred sanford would drive, just kills the beautiful exhaust note.

ive heard of the wrap, but didnt get too many good things about using it, so i was urged to stay away from that. i do know that if i put my foot on the header right before the collector i can get the noise to stop. so far im thinking of making a bracket to bolt to a few trans bolts and clamp it to the right pipe that is rattling, hopefully it wouldnt look too jerry-rigged. but what do you guys do to actually cure this, or does everyone just live with it till they get a new set?
