Another option I forgot to post was to loosen up the bolts that the muffler is hanging from. They used rods that go through rubber clamps and there is a lot of tension here too. This is probably the primary point of the bind from my analysis. Even with the ForcedFed engine damper installed, this engine still moves a lot. Without the damper installed the engine is really moving a lot more and that just magnifiies the entire problem with the exhaust even more.
