Default Exhaust banging

I know with most exhaust changes you will find a knock here and there... and this isnt all the time... its every now and then at around 1,500 rpms... I am new to the mustangs... if it was a Fbody I could tell you all the typical spots it touches...but this is a 06 Saleen S281 SC I installed JBA longtubes and Catted H pipe... the knock sounds to be right around the driver side rear tire area... any hints on where to look?

I have Bill Boat exhaust and the exhaust hangers rattle against the hanger brackets attached to the body. I have little pieces of rubber shimming the hangers from the brackets. I would look there

Most of them knock on left side, it's banging on the panhard bar or floor board depending or both.

I had a knock from my passenger over-axle pipe being to close to the spare tire well. Once she got warm and the elastamers in the hangers loosened up, she would clank pretty hard. Just took getting her to an exhaust shop so they could re-align the pipes. $30 well spent.
