A while back I put an SLP loudmouth exhaust on my 97 GT and ever since I have had this odd metal on metal sound when im driving. Its not a real loud rattling sound but when I turn off the radio I can hear the sound every time I hit a bump.
Iv raised the car up countless times and tightened things down but its always there.
Anyone else have this problem and know what I can do to silence it?

I had this problem in my car, but I have magnaflows instead. I thought the squeak was my rear springs (they don't have iso's) until I accidentily bumped my x-pipe and it squeaked. It wasn't moving much, but the joint where the x-pipe meets the pipe before the mufflers was the offender. I tightened the hell out of them and welded all of the other connections. No problems since.

Check your passenger side muffler in relation to you drive shaft. The factory muffler is mounted at an angle to get some distance from the drive shaft. I had this problem after I installed my OR h-pipe.

also check your gap between the bend that goes over the axle and the axle. when i installed my magnapack system i didnt tighten the clamps on the back of the muffler tight enough so, that bend pipe slide back and was hitting the axle on bumps. All I had to do was push them back in and make the clamps nice and tight and it hasn't happened since.
