Default Exhaust Rattling against the floor board

Anyone have any techinques to find out where its hitting? I found two clamps that where whacking the transmission crossmember. Its still whacking somewhere along there though.

On another note, exhaust hangs pretty low, anyone got any idea to tuck it up a little higher?

Just try to bump it with your hand and see if you can tell where its hitting... Thats what I did.
When mine was hanging low, I had to unbolt everything and have a buddy push it as far up as he could while I bolted everything back in place. Some people use a jack to do the same thing.

Does it only do it when you take off? If so when I installed my OR/X it was hitting where the trans cross member was, and all we did was loosen everything up, and put a bar in there. Then we pulled down until it was lower then it was before, and tightened everything up, and it worked fine. If you need pics i'l see what I can do for ya. It sounded like it was banging againsed the floor board right under where the gas pedal was. It was the worst sound ever it sounded like the trans was shot or somthing.
