Okay, here is the update. I change the wheel to the spare tire and that didn't stop the problem.
I then made some steel sheet metal muffler hangers (happy with those) to replace the torn stock ones, and that didn't help at all either.
Im going to try and get some video, more for the audio so you can hear the noise. I would really prefer to get this issue fixed myself but, I might ...

I can take pictures if you think that would help. But I hope the video will trigger a response from someone who had a similar ...

I remember other problems you had with your car and it usually turned out to be an installation error.
One in particular was your SSK.
I installed the subframe and rtab's 3 years ago and havent had an issue since. I ...

I'll see what's up tomorrow when I go to the VA.
It's funny how my technical threads always become a conversation between the two of us. We haven't done this in a while. We should get ...

So far NO NOISE. I am ...
