Exhaust is happening

Update the front end of the muffler contacts the frame makes a real nice rattling sound upon start up, you can actually feel throughout the truck. Gotta go under and dick around until i get some clearance somehow

Loosen that connection and a few up and downstream of it and see if it can be relaxed or pulled enough to clear? Or just bend a hanger rod(s) some.

That’s what I did when mine was doing that after I installed the headers, but I also stuck a prybar between the pipe and the crossmember it was vibrating on, then tightened everything back up before pulling the prybar out. It stayed in that position, maintaining the clearance.

Can you get it up any? (I know- "That's what she said")

Any chance your motor mounts are old and sagging and new ones would get it off the cross member?
