Sorry....just had to.

Did it happen right away, or soon after??? I've seen rear mounts break and they klind of sound like that.

Could be that your car is too low.

Make sure all your piping hasn't come loose...like if your intercooler isn't bolted/ziptied to something...

noises are hard to understand/explain but...i had a 'similar' noise and one of my rear struts had come loose up top and there was play between the nuts and the body...possibility?

I have a similar problem in my integra. thought it may be a problem with the heat shield and cat, or maybe with the other exhaust piping just being loose...
