Installed TBE and now car rattles/vibrates

I recently installed a TBE for my Evo X MR (Tomei downpipe, straightpipe and Catback). Now the car rattles and vibrates like crazy when i accelerate. I switched out the exhaust hangers with new ones when i installed the exhaust. I took my car into a local muffler shop and they pointed out to me that the catback pipe before the straightpipe touches part of the frame. They tried to reposition the exhaust the best they could along with rotating the pipe 180 degrees. It still continues rattle and vibrate. Has anyone had this issue with their Tomei exhaust? If so how did you fix it? its really driving me crazy. Thanks.

Put some DEI heat wrap around it. it will act as padding but it will also keep from the exhaust melting anything

The midsection to the catback is installed backwards. Mine did the same thing when i installed it. The pipe has like a 5* bend at the flange, really hard to notice unless you stand it up on its end. Just flip the mid section of the catback around and you are good to go.
