Default some weird noise: please help

okay I have this strange hammer noise that happens on both sides of the car towards the rear whenever I hit little bumps in the road or major bumps in the road. Im really clueless as to why its doing this. I know that it's not my 17*11 wheels making this noise because it was doing this when my stock wheels were on. My car is all stock besides the exhaust and I have already checked that. Its really embarassing when people are with me and every time I hit the littlest bump in the road it is making these noise.

Someone please help me cuz its driving me crazy.

Oh yeah and the dealership said they looked at all the rear suspension and said nothing looks awkward or anything.

Check the exhaust again to be really sure that's not it. If it is a bolt on exhaust, a lot of them really don't fit as well as a custom job. I would bet that it's what's banging in the rear.

sounds like your exhaust is hitting the DS tunnel brace.. mine did the same thing so i took the brace off and hit it with a hammer a few times, and it quit doing it
