Default exhaust hitting the frame of the car!

Hey guys, I currently have an 04 DC5-S, I have a BC race Header and a tanabe exhaust system. The problem is that when i floor it and shift, my exhaust hits the frame of my car right underneath the shifter. It also does this when i down shift. The noise only lasts for about a few seconds but its a god awful noise. I was thinking that its because of the way the engine torques at high rpms and right under the shifter is where the exhaust comes closet to the frame of the car. I just bought new motor mounts and I'm hoping that they will eliminate the motor movement and stop the noise, but i cant put them in till this weekend. I was wondering if anyone knew what else it could be so i can address it when i change the mounts.

What mounts did you buy? Innovative? That probably solve your problem.

True story, I spelled my middle name wrong for 14 years because no one told me other wise. If it wasn't for MS word, i don't think i would have passed AP English or Literature, lol.

Is you middle name Joseph by chance? I couldn't spell mine for a long time so I never wrote it.
