Default Clunk sound when accel on highway speeds

Car in question is a 1995 z28. I bought the car from a previous owner about 6-8 months ago. Im not 100% sure what all has been done to the car transmission/drive train/gears wise. However since owning the car I have noticed when I am cruising along at highway speeds (Between 60-70 MPH) and I left off the gas to coast for a second or two and then lightly start to accelerate again I will occasionally hear a clunk/bang coming from what sounds like the rear (Under backseat area). I really don't think it is the transmission mount because it only does it at those speeds and conditions.

Any ideas or what I should check or look for?
I do know the car has a CAI, gutted cat and flowmaster catback exhaust.
Thank you.

Sounds like driveline slack. When it happens are you stabbing the gas or do you roll into it? Mine will occasionally do this if I stab the gas at a coast.

Driveshaft? Loose torque arm bolt? Have you been under the car? If I had a nickel for everything that was left loose on a used car....
