Default Squeaking in exhaust

Hey guys I just purchased a C6 about a month ago and I'm loving every second of owning this car !! I noticed whenever it was cold there was a slight squeak coming from the exhaust (not a vibration sound) I thought maybe an exhaust leak but I installed a header and x-pipe yesterday and the noise has gotten louder when I first turn it on i can hear it at idle after it warms it goes away at idle but comes back when driving . Its not extremely loud but enough to be aggravating? ANY insight is much appreciated thanks guys!!

Try spraying the hangers with a lubricant. My cat back does this and when i lube up the hangers it goes away for quite a while.
