if the pipework clanks against the rear axle, then you'll need to fit some shorter exhaust rubber to raise it up a little

It'll either be the rear beam or the trailing arm, you either need to move the pipe further in or out and modify* the box so it'll clear the trailing arm.
* modify - hit with a hammer.

If you're going to shape the box you'll need to take it off. I'd see if you can sort it with the hangers first.
Is the problem worse with weight in the back?

ooh yes, loads worse... kind of a vibrating rattly noise with a reassuring clunk over the bumps, not even lowered yet... will it get worse then?
