Exhaust CLANG
 
Any idea why my exhaust pipe hits the differential when I hit a bump making a loud "bell" sound?

I've replaced all 4 rubber donuts, then noticed the clamp by the engine was gone. replaced that, made it worse. Is there another clamp position somewhere between the engine and the muffler, or is it supposed to sway so much?
Thanks

Somewhere up there on the body, there is a rubber buffer that prevents this bang and clunck. May be you lost that rubber buffer.
You can find that at fastlane or PP. There are atl east 2 places where I have seen these buffers under my car. One or both of them might have been lost or rotten. Search under exhaust and look for mounting accessories etc..

Thanks MVK

I think I've got it temporarily fixed now. It was actually the mid - muffler hitting the driveshaft. Looks like whoever installed the exhaust last didnt do it right so that it comes to close to the center of the car. I wired the muffler to hang as close to the outer edge as possible and I think its ok.

I am glad you fixed it.
