Annoying clinking (1 Viewer)

[stuck in GA]

I went by Urban Landcruiser today to see if my sliders are in yet and we checked it out. He found the problem. It was the clamp that clamps the exhaust down so it doesn't rattle on the frame up towards the front near the engine bay. The clamp was broken and so they just put a clamp on it so it doesn't rattle anymore. If you think about it, it is pretty logical because it was happening when I was accelerating from a stop so the torque was making the exhaust rattle and make a clinking sound. Well even though it was nothing of what you guys said thanks for the advice. Now I know what other things it could be if I hear a clinking again.

This is so funny that mentioned this, I have a similar clunck/clink noise and it only happens in acceleration, the other day I asked my wife to ride with me to see if she can hear it too. She is not mechanically inclined and the extend of her mechanical abilities goes as far as being able to gas her car.

Do you know what was the first thing she said as soon as she heard the noise?
"Dear, I think there is something loose in your muffler!"
