The power plant frame (or PPF) is a long hunk of metal which bolts to the tranny, runs down parallel to the driveshaft, then bolts to the differential. Stock FD's have them, just the Mazdaspeed one is supposed to be stronger. Although when I took my stock one off it seemed pretty beefy.

and when it gets cracked and you push the car really hard theres this fast knocking sound comming from the back of the car, it sounds like the car is about to fall apart.

Yellow Dragon is no more
The PPF was one of the trick components that Mazda designed to add serious strength to the chasis and to help keep it light. Stock was designed for road race and not drag race!
