Although I don't have these headers on, I had an incident after going over an intersection and the exhaust hitting the small curb. After that it made those same kind of noices you describe, but the solution to it were quite simple. I went to a garage, and they simply took a crowbar and bendt it clear. Free of charge!

I did however ok it first though, they were a bit sceptical themselves. Works fine today, two years after.
