Default Anyone get that "clunk clunk" at start?

So my car has done this from day 1 of owning it.

But basically, when I start the car and put it in drive (cold or hot start) and tap the gas pedal I get this "clunk clunk" from the passenger side engine bay.

Its done it from the start and wasn't sure if this was normal... haha I haven't noticed anything wrong with the car even with that noise xD

thx

Well I'm sure they are stock engine mounts. But I mean its just a simple tap, and its the stock exhaust manifold with a catback.

If you floor it from a start all the way through first until it shifts into second, do you ever hear a clunk when it changes gears?

Actually no, its only when you press the gas the first time. Like even if its a complete WOT or extremely light tap. :o

It sounds like its something possibly from the TCS area.
