Question strange noise =[

I got my car tuned recently (TopSpeed; awesome place: 319 AWHP 324 ft lb torque =D)

shortly after, my car has been making a weird noise. its not knocking, but I can hear something hitting, like metal to metal.

I can't pinpoint the source, but I think its coming from my downpipe. I installed my TBE with the wideband a couple days before I got it tuned. I made sure everything was tight and secure but it almost sounds as if something is loose.

however, it only happens at idle/low RPM. when I press the throttle it goes away. Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Exhaust clanking on the frame, or oilpan. Put a heat pad along the oilpan, and around the frame area. I bet that's what's up bro. easy fix.

exhaust is either hitting the heatshield or the "support" bar things underneath
