Default has anyone else had this problem????

I recently installed the pacesetter long tubes, ORY, and the slp loud mouth exhaust. Ok the problem is that when I take off aggresively it sounds like the headers or the exhaust is hitting on the underbody. I suspect that maybe it might be my motor mounts. Let me know what you guys think it might be or if you had this problem what did you do to fix it.
Thanks guys
Rick

Probably the motor mounts. When you goose it, the motor is gonna torque over and the exhaust is gonna flex. I had the same problem until I got the polys. The rubber ones looked kinda smooshed.
