My exhaust is driving me nuts!

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

I found my tt catback rattled in 3 places.

1, catalitic converter cover. I simply cut it off
2, the retun over the rear axle beam, slighty tapped on it
3. the muffler (TT flowmaster)had a broken baffle and rattled at 2500-4500
RPM, changed it for local American muffler shop for a UltraFlow (niiice)
and it was gone away in rattles....

Vrommm vraaaaaaoooooooouuummm!

=>I spent 2 freakin' hours last night crawled up under my car trying to find
=>the source of a horrid rattle/vibration noise coming from my
=>exhaust. And of
=>course, it's still there.
=>
=>I did notice that one of the hangers for my TT exhaust is broken.
=>This could
=>be the cause, but I can't tell where it's rubbing because it only rattles
=>when I'm driving, it won't do it when I'm sitting still and revving.
=>
=>I was whacking on case of my Flowmaster pretty hard right after I
=>got it to
=>try and get things fit better. Could I have knocked something loose on the
=>inside of it?
=>
=>Also, it seems like the exhaust itself doesn't really fit right... anyone
=>else had a problem with this before? The piping in the tunnel is situated
=>too far to the left (where I think it's really rubbing cause it's so close
=>to the heat shield), but the muffler sits too far to the right
=>side (causing
=>the place that installed the exhaust to bend my rear valence to make room
=>for the tailpipe!).
=>
=>Thinking about buying another exhaust just so I can have a
=>correctly fitting
=>one, right after spending $200 on this one from TT, pisses me off...
