When I had my 2.5" xforce cat back fitted, it started to clang on the pipes around the second muffler. Turns out the rubber holders at the *** end of the car had been a bit stretched and had too much movement on them. Had this resolved by putting, i think hose clamps? around the rubber holders to tighen the fitting up (cant think of what the clamp things are called). I can take a pic and post if you like.

As long as it works well now and it's not about to snap off it should be fine. If it continues to happen get them to weld new exhaust mounts on which should be tighter
