invidia midpipe thud noise?

Does anyone else with the invidia midpipe hear a loud thud type noise when going over bumpy roads? I know for me its hitting some bar that goes across the body and I could take it off, but prefer not to. I'll add a photo later tonight after I lift up my car.

I preferred not to take it off as well so I had the shop bend the bar for me. No more thud noises now
