Unhappy Banging noise

When I accelrate quickly sometimes I hear a noise as if a rock is flying up in my wheel well, it also sounds like a bang or a pop coming from the middle of my car. I recently changed out my starter, but i would say its doubtful that it has anything to do with that. Any ideas on what this may be?

Have you recently added headers, could be the Y pipe (but that's usually under your feet)
It might be a broken trans mount, that's around the middle of the car

Maybe a bad torque arm mount/bushing...

I had that happen to me too, but on the driver's side in the rear. It happened twice. Once for each time I loosened my driver's side SFC to adjust some stuff.

does it make the noise when you hit bumps?

I had a problem similar to yours, and i replaced the tranny mount, and the torque arm bushing, and here it was the exhaust banging against the driveshaft safety crossmember thing

Torque arm bushing or tranny mount like already said.
My torque arm actually came loose on me one night. It was violent sounding.
