Yeah, Nate mentioned the exhaust might cause some vibrations, especially when braking hard. I may try to look for pressure points and put some padding around it just to see if the noises go away. That would certainly be the easiest fix. I'll jack the car up when I get home and see what happens.

The differential is my fear. Those aren't cheap. At the same time, I think/hope the frame/exhaust is more likely since that's what's been worked on, and it's not like I'm making incredibly more power than I was stock. I've also tried not to abuse the car, though I do enjoy it.

BTW, the exhaust is Vishnu.
Padding may be difficult. I used a bit of rubber on my rear swaybar mount to quiet my clunk temproarily, and even way down at the muffler, the heat melted the rubber... it may be impossible to pad anything up front where it's much hotter.

BTW: I'm also running the Vishnu exhaust!
