The frame rust in your pictures posted will come to be more severe and will compromise the integrity of your truck in the near future unless you do something now to make it stop.
Just because it does not show on the body does not mean it is not an immediate issue.
I already have plans in the works for that, but thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it!

I don't think it's from looseness, just from flexing the smaller pipe, and pushing it into the larger one. I have to push/pull pretty hard to make it happen.
With it cold grab the manifolds and try to move them. See if they are tight. Have that piece welded up and make sure everything is tight. And as stated, take an angle grinder to the frame and make sure it gets coated good before the rust gets worse.
