Need help with next exhaust decision

I have an '06 C2S with Sport Chrono & PSE and I've been to 2 Indies to troubleshoot a rattling sound that appears to be coming out of the left side muffler.
One thought it was a broken clamp/bracket on the topside of the muffler and the other thought it was the muffler clips that were causing the rattling.

Since the muffler clip option would be the least expensive solution, I decided to give it a shot.... unfortunately, it did not resolve the problem.

Let's take a step back to describe the rattle...
It is an annoying metal rattle that is coming from the right side of the exhaust system. It is most prevalent in first and second gear in the 2k to 3.5k rpm range.
When I have the sport mode on and get in third gear and above the 3.5k rpm, I hear and enjoy that sweet sound of the PSE.

So it’s not the clips… is it the upper clamp/bracket or is it the baffles in the muffler/s?

If the PSE is toast, is this the right time to be looking at after market mufflers and if so, which one is a suitable replacement for the PSE and which one would you consider to be an upgrade?

Thank you for your help…

Yes, that would be the sound..
I'm just north of the city.

Could it be the a bracket or split in the tailpipe?
