As in, it might be causing the knock

Yes . Do what Joe said . Under hard acceleration the motor wants to roll over and the larger aftermarket down pipe hits the upper control arm mount . It may need motor mounts if it's real bad .

One way to find out is with the hood open put the car in drive with your foot on the brake and give it gas. You'll see the motor rock to the right. Maybe have someone stand on that side of the fender to look/hear if its hitting. Even though the motor mounts are new they still will have give especially if they are stock replacements. That's why most of us have engine tie down straps on the drivers side attached to the alternator bracket bolt(special bolt with an eye loop in it).

If he does have an issue there
It would be best to get the rjc brace.
The torque strap can bend and break the alternator setup its attached to.

was the downpipe hitting?

It does look like it's been tapping. I actually went ahead and ordered the HR motor mounts. I considered the RJC brace, so if it's still hitting I'll get that.

I've replaced the mounts before and saw Jason mention the brace for folks with stock mounts or/in addition to HR mounts. I figured the HR mounts was a good upgrade and I know what I'm getting myself into with the mount replacement

you already replaced the mounts just get the RJC brace. You said ....with stock mounts or/in addition to HR mounts Jason says to get the brace. Your half way there. Why replace them again?

Because I wanted to re-torque the head bolts anyways, and I'd rather upgrade what's there than add a new part. I was kicking myself pretty soon after installing new stock mounts, the intent was to keep the TAPerformance headers from hitting the steering shaft, but turns out even new stock replacement mounts aren't enough for that. Ended putting the jeep shaft in.
