Default Exhaust problems, something hitting

Hey just installed my new magnaflow catback and everythings nice with it, its progresivley getting louder it sounds real nice, just one problem, on the driver side every time i go over a slight bump something from the exhaust is hitting, we have tried everything to try and stop it but just doesnt seem to work, i know its kind of a long shot question but is there anywhere on an exhaust that is like KNOWN for this type of problem so maybe i can pinpoint it? or should i just keep playing around with it until it stops

My Magnaflow catback(oval muffler type) was lightly resting against the body on the passengers side at the back under the rear seats. Pretty much right where the piping starts to turn up to go over the axle. I "massaged" the floopan in to provide about 1/8" clearance and it has been fine since. Got rid of a annoying "buzz" type of noise in a very narrow RPM range.

Not sure about the bump...I think mine did that to not sure i think it may have been the floorpan thing like he said....

...keep an eye on the retaining nut thingy that secures the exhaust tailpipe rod (the one that lets you adjust the tailpipe back and forth) mine vibrated loose over and over again, used red lock tight and still came loose, finally weldled it....good to go

- love my magnaflows (even went with it on my 93), and get use to folks asking all the time, "Are them there Floowwwwwwwwwwwmasters"
