Do you have a rear swaybar? If you do, the pipe is probably hitting the swaybar.

If you don't have a rear swaybar, like mentioned, the pipe might be hitting the lower control arm. You could try messing with the hangers on the muffler but chances are you wont get much out of it and might have to deal with it.

check your exhaust heat shields...they tend to loosen up and make a rattle sound
