Fit a clamp and stop the rear pipe from moving. You think it's not leaking, but it is. The noise will most likely be the front muffler moving across and hitting the tail shaft. The exhaust will move under acceleration, and with a loaded car, it will drop the body down so that the muffler is in line with the tail shaft. Get under the car and look at the inside of the muffler where it runs next to the tail shaft, I bet you will see marks on the muffler and the tail shaft.
Fit the clamp and tighten it up to stop it all moving. The front muffler is only held to the cat by spring bolts, it will move.
If it isn't hitting the tail shaft, it will be the mountinmg pin on the outside of the muffler hitting against the lower control arm. Another common thing if the exhaust hasn't been fitted properly or there is no clamp.
