Default EG: new exhaust problem

my car is pretty freaking low, and i scrape my cat all the time, but it's never been really bad. but the other day, i was going out of a parking lot and scrape it and could feel it pull the cat a little bit. now whenever i drive for a while, and then turn off my car, it ticks and it definitely sounds like it's coming from where the cat is. is this something i should be concerned about? (stock exhaust btw).

na, exhaust ticks all the time. It's just cause the metal expands when it's hot and while it's cooling it contracts making a ticking sound. That's normal.

ok, it might be normal, but it's never happened in all the 5 (almost 6 years) that i've owned my car until now. just makes me wonder.
