Sounds like the ever so common y pipe hitting the floorboard.
It COULD be, any of the rear suspension componets having loose hardware, such as tq arm. Also, check the condition of the trans mount.

make sure the clamshell where the torque arm bolts into on the transmission didnt come lose. It happened to mine once. The torque arm kept banging on the top of the transmission and i couldnt figure it out. Sure enough when i got under there.........tada!

I had to use a floor jack to jack up one side of the car just so i could take a peak under there. BUt then i put it up on a friend's lift to put a new bolt in the clamshell. If you have a friend that works at a "quick lube" place, (Mobil 1, etc.) you could just drive over the pit and check it out real quick.
