I would say that it is the Y-pipe banging the floorboard. You have any kind of poly mounts for motor or transmission installed? They normally help rid you of that prblem.

Which Y-pipe do you have? I assume you have a KOOKS Y. I have had no bumping/banging issues with my Kooks Stainless Steel Catted Y.

But as stated, poly motor mounts or a Mufflex Bump Stop should help things out. I've read of people putting pieces of heater hose in between the Y and frame as well for a temporary fix.
