Default 2.5 v6 miggy sounds like a bag of spanners

When you put ure foot down the miggy shifts don't feel as fast as the cdx but goes ok but from the outside it sounds like a bag of spanners its not the engine it sounds as its coming from the downpipe or center sections could a section be loose or damaged ? Or could it be the auto box must admit it sounds tinny hopeing it may be collapsed baffles in the center

Get it on the ramps mate, and give the silencers a good smack with your hands... If its baffles you'll hear them moving around inside the silencers.
