Jus the catback? No y pipe or headers? Get the car off the ground and shake the exhaust back and forth at different spots to see where it's loose and hitting

I had the same problem after I installed a magnaflow cat back several years ago. It turned out that my over-the-axle pipe was vibrating against something. I loosened the clamps up and did a little bit of adjusting. I never had a problem with it after that.
