Default Exhaust Knocking Into Something

After turning my car off I heard an extra rattle. When I went to the rear of the car I put my foot on the left exhaust tip and it moves ever so slightly up & down. I heard it making contact with something resulting in a metal on metal sound. When I did the same on the right side it was tight. I recently had a new tranny installed so the exhaust had to be removed and re-installed and apparently something is loose. It seems that these exhaust systems always have some play in them but this is not normal. Anyone? Mods are in sig.

Look and make sure that it is not hitting the frame ahead of the axle.

You need to get under the car and look. It may save you $$$ if it is a simple fix now.
