There's a U shaped bracket mounted between the tranny & frame that the pipes are suppose to be clamped to. Sometimes this bracket is missing. See if it's there. Maybe the pipe clamps are loose and thats all.

Oh how I can relate. I also have a 76 that has been converted to a true dual exhaust. It does the same thing. I have purchased the replacement bracket, but have not gotten up the nerve to undo the transmission mount in order to install it yet.
You may also want to make sure that the nuts are tight where it attaches to the headers. Since there is not much support mine tend to work free and rattle even more.
Sure is embarrassing at a stop light...
