Default Scraping noise when taking off in 1st

Hey guys, I have an or y with an LM2 catback, and last night I scraped the catback pretty hard on a big bump. Since then there is a slight scraping noise from the rear for a split second when I take off in 1st from a stop. The scraping noise definitely seems to be coming from the catback. Is it possible that the bump pushed my catback up and it's rubbing against the driveshaft now? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks in advance.

I went as slowly as I could. It was a nasty bump. I don't think it's the y-pipe, pretty sure it's the CB. That SLP hangs so low.

Well I just looked underneath. Everything looked perfectly fine, no clamps broken off or bends in the piping. Not even colostomy to rubbing the driveshaft either. I think the CB is just rubbing against the heatshield in the rear.
