clunking sound? exhaust hitting panhard support?
so when i start my car when its cold, the engine is a little more violent than when its warmed up and theres a noise coming from the rear and it sounds like my exhaust is hitting my panhard support?
ive dropped the car about 3 inches since getting the exhaust done so could this happen because of the lowering?

This is one of those "you'll just have to get under it and see" things.

You're sure it's not a broken trans mount?

I guess you could put a jack on the tail shaft and raise it a little bit and see if you can see the mount separate. The rubber mounts are notorious for breaking, and they clunk in the transmission tunnel under acceleration.

tail shaft meaning the back part near the rear end or the front near the motor?

The back of the transmission next to the trans mount. Look up broken transmission mounts in the search and see if it fits your symptoms.
