Mine banged the driver side floorboard. Really annoying but I just wrapped header wrap around it, it vibrates but no where near as loud of metal against metal.

do you remember "Happy Gilmore" when he missed the putt and they play the audio clip? "Piece of monkey $HIT"

mine bangs as much as a prostitute...I've wrapped it with header wrap and placed a rubber exhaust hanger between the pipe and floorboard. The only true fix is poly motor mounts, but they aren't the easiest to install, especially if you already have the headers installed.

I got mine from Speed Inc for a darn good price though, so I guess I will live with the vibrations for now.
