Default Headers tapping after suspension/line lock

I recently installed some suspension parts (UMI adjustable torque arm, UMI ta relocation bracket, UMI adjustable lca's, umi lca relocation brackets, umi adjustable panhard bar) and a line lock. After testing the line lock, I noticed that my headers started to bang. Is it possible that by stiffening the suspension and testing the line lock I loosened some bolts on the headers?

Poly motor mounts. They didn't bang prior to the line lock test, which was a whole week of driving before hand.

Seems to be tapping right at the inner side of the collector. The line lock is the SLP line lock. After I did 2 burn outs it seems like that caused the exhaust to shift. Maybe it came loose?
