PPF question

I think I need to replace my PPF. I get the humping on the back when I take off on first, the car vibrate bad when I floor it, and the shifter moves around a bit but no shifting issues. I'm was wondering since the PPF is not really cheap if I could get a tranny and diff brace and this will fix the problem. I know adding this stuff will shake the feelings off my teeth but I don't really mind. Other thing I think it could be is the diff mounts and the guy that I got the car from said it could be the trailing arms. I haven't got the time to get under the car yet to investigate. I already got a new diff mounts but I'm waiting on a new fuel filter to do that while there.

I would get under the car and find the crack. Take the PPF off and get a competent exhaust shop to weld the crack up. Its not hard to fix them. Thre crack will get worse no matter how much you brace it.

I've seen PPF's in the classifieds for $100-$150. I got mine used from a member here for $120 shipped.

Well I took a look under the car and the ppf and the diff. mount seem to be fine to me. I will post some pics off the diif mounts.The other thing I can think of is the engine/tranny mounts.

Well the problem is not the PPF. That's what I though at first. And diff. mount look ok to me. I also notice something weird. When I go WOT on 1st and 2nd I get some minor vibration from the tunnel and I also get the feeling like my tranny is moving around, so that's why I'm shooting for engine mounts but still I don't see why it would make the humping noice.
