  when starting, a knocking coming from what I think is the exhaust pipe or muffler...feels like its right under drivers seat! After about 15-30 seconds it will smooth out and sound normal.
(when revving engine...I can't hear the knock, but returns when idles down)

Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated!!! Wink

I would probably start out with check all the exhaust hangers to make sure none are broken or missing. Then make sure all the motor mounts are good...
