installed my flowmasters myself... could have been a mistake

Do you have a automatic transmission? If so in the instructions it tells you to bend a pipe out of the way to give it clearance.

Is everything fully seated? Including clamps in the correct locations?

We just used stainless steel washers to space it out a bit (the kit in this pic came with spacers).

Just another thing that could be causing the sound (or likely will in the future after driving it a bit).

I installed mine myself also and this was also the problem. Same deal I used washers.

thats what i thought at first but then i took the plate completely off and it was still making that horrible noise. and i checked to see if its rubbing anywhere and the clearance seemed to be fine

I took mine in and had it welded and it only cost me $70. Well worth it.
