Default Stock Exhaust Resonance

So around 2,700-3,000 rpm I get have an annoying drone/resonance coming from the passenger side exhaust. I took it into the dealership the week I purchased the car (3 weeks ago) and they said it was missing an exhaust hanger. I thought that was odd since the exhaust appears to look normal and hangs straight.

So I take a look underneath and here are the two passenger side hangers:





Looks normal to me.

Here's a video of the sound I'm hearing. You may need to turn up your speakers to hear it clearly.

Clearly the dealer either didn't care to figure out what the problem was or some how I misunderstood what their diagnosis was (which I doubt).

Thoughts?
