It's not always noticable. Mine is most noticable on highway on/off ramps (turning right). Check the knuckle joint in your driveshaft after like a week of driving. If its rubbing you'l see a ring where the paint wore off on the joint.

If it is rubbing you will be able to hear it not to mention see where the knuckle is actually machining away material on the resonator.

I noticed mine when it would rain. I believe the rain would cause the exhaust to contract and push into the pilot shaft joint. If it is rubbing it will sound like a Whining/grinding sound.

My cousin has a 9 mr and had the same problem. WHat he did was buy the Kartboy hangers. It helped a little but the huge resonator was still in the way. All he did was go to an exhaust shop and have the resonator taken out and replaced with a straight 3 inch pipe. It sounded noticably deeper. This was the only way my cousin solved this problem you have. -Johncy
