A few things to check:

1. Exhaust, make sure the exhaust is actually on the hangers. If not, it could bounce around and make some noise.

2. Check the pillow ball bushings. Put the car on the jack stands and see if you can wiggle the rear wheels. If there is excessive play:

Bad Differential mounts can also cause it to make a clunk noise.
