im lifting it tonight and will check tomorrow morning cause it has to be while it is cold...one possibility on mine is that the left side straight pipe is snug up against the big metal thing under the middle of the car...could that be why its vibrating loudly?

Its not the exhaust. We have already found out what the issue was. Try taking a look at the rear muffler hanger bolts. The metal casing around the hanger is being held up by a pair of bolts. Make sure all the bolts are tightened.

^thanks, i will double check those, but this morning i was able to confirm the sound is not coming from the rear of the car, but rather somewhere in the middle...I am pretty sure it is the bolts or bushings and i know its not the exhaust itself

If it is in fact in the middle. Check the heat shield which was held up by the cross bar. You should have taken the cross bar off and used the bolts to hold up the heat shield.

From the various install pics that I've seen people just take it off and leave it off.
