Ok u want to play guessing I bet its loose bolts that hold the exhaust. It's swinging in the air so try putting some WD on the springs that hold them on. That might help. I'll let u know on my next guess soon.

Could be sway bar end links. Common problem

If it's a squeak when the suspension moves up and down over bumps it's probably the sway bar bushings. Remove the brackets and wrap the bar with teflon tape.
