[s-cars] exhaust started to touch body

[Konstantine Bogach]

  Chris,  I need to hear it from outside of the car (still did not have 
that chance, always no another person at right time),  but I doubt it is 
a CV.  I probably did not describe the sound accurately,  but it sounds 
more like exhaust touching body,  or bad big rubber bushing somewhere.

Thanks.
Konstantine
