well, to wrap this whole issue up, back in Late January:
I investigated underneath more and grabbed exhaust parts as the truck idled and while the wife revved it. Soon enough I discovered that the welded together case on the magnaflow muffler was cracked. It is a horrible noise to hear when it is right next to your head!!!
I took photos and sent a video to magnaflow on January 28:
Since their exhaust components come with a lifetime warranty, they agreed to replace my muffler and the clamps. It took about 3 weeks for the muffler to arrive at my house (which was a bit longer than I would have expected), but I finally got it and put it on a few days ago.
THE NOISE IS GONE. The truck (and I ) are happy again!!
