first of all ... welcome to the forum!

could you describe it a little better than that? how does it sound? when do you hear it? is it up front, in the middle or out back? that sort of thing ...

im a friend of streetracer and he most likely knows the sound much better then i do but it seems as though is like a metal ringing type sound coming from the back...kinda like when you vibrate betal against metal...it seems to be quite frequent

well ... welcome to you , too.

based on what you're saying, i may be inclined to say check the hangers first. is this the stock exhaust?

yes i believe it is the stock exhaust....i think you may be right because my friend and i have noticed that the drivers side exhaust tends to hang lower then the passengers side

well, change the hangers ... may as well do them all at the same time. my guess is the "clinking" will go away.
