    cable ties on the tailshaft? lol

    its definately a driveline issue, what does it sound like? metal on metal, or rubber?

    metal on metal but aint a real clang sound if u get what i mean lol it just taps and gets faster with accelaration at first i shit meself cause it thought it was the bottom end of the engine but the sound comes from somewhere inbetween the cat and the engine. my transmission is a little rough on changes sometimes to but not always if that helps. lol

    driveline is this an easy fix

    driveline is engine to wheels and everything inbetween. could be 1 of many components

    if u can, jack up the car on stands, and see if u can see anything that could be rubbing or something that looks worn or rubbers perished. looking along the transmission, down the driveshaft, diff, then axles to ur wheels.

    I dont know if its the same problem, but i was getting a tinging noise a while ago coming from around the cat area, So i jacked my car up and found the exhaust clamp the the end of my y piece (if i remember right) snapped on 1 side and it was dragging on the road, got louder the quicker you went...
    Then i heard the same noise today, yep! broke it again lol
