Rough riding
Today I was on my way into work. I saw a couple signs that said left lane closed, so I merged in the right lane. I saw the barrels/cones up ahead, and slowed down slightly. Just as I saw what was ahead, it was too late. They had tore up the asphalt to repave around the RR tracks. I hit the tracks at about 45-50 mph(speed limmit 55mph). My crossmember hit the RR track and the front end caught air. When I cam down the crossmember bottomed out.
Now I am sitting at work, and my Camaro is not running too well. She sounds like she is out of time, and has bad exhaust leaks. When I rev the engine to about 3k real quick, she makes a noise kinda like a sharp clunk.
I have looked at the undercarriage, and I can see where the crossmember hit, and there is no fluids leaking. I do see that the Y-pipe took some beating too as it is a little crushed in.
Any ideas as to what is causing the problem? My brother suggested the harmonic balancer.

Well I do know that the y-pipe is banged up a bit. The oil and tranny pan is fine. no dents.
The only thing that I can physically find that is damaged is the crossmember, and that is only a couple of dents. The balancer is not wobbling.
The motor mounts are fine, but I have not checked the tranny mounts yet.
The motor idles fine, but when I give it gas, it sounds like the timing is off, or some of the cylinders are not firing.
