Exhaust leak?

I'm posting this here b/c the answer might NOT be exhaust related. Well, I've pretty much been driving like a madman lately since a few mods I did and although nothing I've done SHOULD have hurt anything (shifting through gears - nothing over redline and no moving downshifts beyond 3rd) that's the only cause I can think of. My dynomax sounds like a flowmaster, or maybe when I changed the gear oil to synthetic two weeks ago I did something wrong? A note: when I sent in my dynomax warranty they said they could not warranty it for "that application." Apparently, it's a 3" truck muffler, but when I called that buffoon at summit he insisted that the mufflers were not sold in an application-specific way and I had to give him offset and diameter data. The sound (if it's not an internal exh. leak) is one like grating metal. Thanks for any replies.
