What in the hell did I do?(VIDEO included)
I was driving in a rough area, and I think this started right after I hit a bump. You can really hear it at around the 30+ second mark if you want to skip ahead. My exhaust doesn't sound like it does in the video obviously, the phone can't register the loudness of open piped longtubes. But yeah, you can hear the.. like rattling sound.. it has actually gone way down since that happened, which is also weird. You can hear it a lot when I deccelerate now, but not as much while driving. I can hear it a lot when I hit a bump on the highway too. Any ideas?
Maybe a Torque arm, or trans mount?

*SOLVED* Pretty funny.. it ended up being a break line hanging down right at the yoke of the driveshaft, it was hanging down and getting hit by the yoke on every rotation. Crazy ****, glad it wasn't something worse.

Well one if I even thought it was the torque arm I wouldn't be driving it. It could be something as simple as and exhaust hanger. Easiest way to tell is just get under there and look, all you have to do is even stick your head under and see if it's the torque arm

Hmm my exhaust doesn't have hangers(It's longtubes with about a foot and a half of piping), and it's a m6, so no converter. Any other ideas? My car is too low to look under, I'm going to get it jacked up soon so I can take a look.

Oh and it doesn't make that noise on accel anymore.. it's weird, now it makes it when I'm slowing down, or when I hit a bump on the highway. It makes more of a .. higher pitched sound now when I'm driving, but I can't hardly hear it over the exhaust.
