I moved one of the clamps towards the flange a bit today on my TS and tightened it well. Heard a creeping exhaust leak getting worse. Noise went considerably down at low rpms. I've tightened the clamps a couple of times in the past but saw how I thought one could be more effectively placed this time and think it sounds better than it ever has before. I can see how people have more predictable results with welding. Probably doesn't "fix" the drone, but man, it can get loud if there's the slightest leak.
Mine took a few washers on one side, and just one on the other mounting bracket point, and it sits only a few mms away from the heat shield. No melting, and I've run it hard in 105+ temps this august. The heat shield is some sort of metal (?) Some people might be going to unnecessary lengths (no pun intended) to get the exhaust away from the bumper, which then makes it stick out more, and not as nice looking. My .02 anyways.
