Default Tapping sound since X pipe install

not sure exactly how to explain but... when car starts it sounds almost like a metal tapping sound. tick tick tick.... 2 minutes later after it's warm it gets quiet. I can faintly hear it while driving in low rpms giving it gas......around 1000-1250 rpms half gas. any ideas

IDK but make sure everything is tight and the exhaust hangers aren't hitting. Also check for exhaust leaks.
