What have you done to your MSP today?

I fixed my rear suspension clunk today.

And now I have a loud knocking noise when acceleration. I know its not the motor. It sounds like its comming from right below the firewall or maybe a little further back by the tranny. It gets louder the harder I accelerate.The car still pulls strong and I have not noticed any performace or diveability issues. I have not had a chance to get it in the air and look yet but was open to some suggestions before I get under there. I have a welded lsd so I don't think its that.. hopefully. Axles going bad or some issue with the tranny?
 
It was yesterday, but my friend and I installed my 88 durometer front and rear awr motor mounts and corksport 3.1 inch exhuast. The rear mount was a pain and took the most time. I like the improvements, but will see how the law likes the exhaust or not.

Sam has them, unless you're doing a color I wouldn't spend the extra. I have them and they didn't seem much thicker than oem to me.
 
So basically the vibration/knocking I feel in the firewall feels the hardest when I accelerate at lower rpms. I heard some new noises coming fron the front right too, dosent drive any different though. I havent had time to really look at it but im kind of puzzled... It all started shortly after I retightened my front right axle which was a bit loose and made my tires vibrate at highway speeds. I plan on taking the whole taking out to look at the axle but I dont have time to do that until the weekend.. could it possibly be caused by the axle?
 
I was wondering if either the transmission or passenger mount could do something like this? I have stockers with awr inserts in them.
 
No I mean I tightened because it was shaking, shaking has stopped now. Im starting to think the transmission mount could be toast.
