You mean it's either hitting the tunnel brace or the floorboard? Mines will smack when I accelerate hard from a dig. Does yours do the same or are you talking about something different?

mine did the same, all i did was heat the ory at the point of contact and gave it a couple of taps with a wooden mallet to gain a smidge of clearance. also some companies make tunnel braces with extral space for lt's, this will also work!

This was happening to me. i had to take the exhaust off to take my tranny out and once i put it back on it didnt happen anymore. So i think it just needed some adjustment.

yes. i bought bump hangers from thunder racings. and pried on it. and smacked the **** out of it. looks dinged up, but i never see it and its way better than that smackin **** it was doing. try not to knock a hole in it, if you do JB weld will do the trick.
