Exhaust rattle?

Ok, here's the deal. I've got the 3" Turboback from Buschur Racing and i've had it for awhile now. I got the Magnaflow muffler that Buschur Racing offers aswell, the only problem that I had when I first installed it was that the muffler hung very low out the back of the car and did not look very good. So finally I got time to adjust the muffler, I had to turn the mid-pipe more so end of the mid-pipe was turned up more so the muffler would point higher. In the end it did raise the muffler, but the muffler is also not as stable anymore and shakes a bit. Also the mid-pipe is touching the bar that goes around drive-shaft which I think is causing the rattle. Has anyone had this happen to them or have any idea on how to fix it? I think that because the muffler isn't as secure as it use to be, the muffler shakes which causes the mid-pipe to shake which then vibrates against the driveshaft cover-bar. Are there any very lightweight mufflers that wouldn't shake as much so then the mid-pipe wouldn't shake as much? I dont know if I should try to just remove the entire exhaust and re-install the whole unit or turn the mid-pipe back the other way and just deal with the stupid looking muffler. I also drove the car around with no muffler on and the sound was very nice, are there any mufflers that sound like that or aren't very restrictive so I can get that deep sound? I hope I can fix this soon because the rattle is annoying as hell and I can feel it moving throughout the car. Also if somone is sitting in the front driver-seat, the rattle is louder than somone without. Thanks

I had a similar problem that was driving me crazy trying to fix. In the end, the best solution was to finally take it to an exhaust shop. They put it on the rack and were able to add an additional support and get everything adjusted so there was no mre vibration problems. They only charged me $20.00 to do it.
