Check your motor and transmission mounts.

Then check the center bearing on your driveshaft (it might not be your exhaust you're hearing)

Did you re-attach the exhaust mount from the cat to the transmission?

There's three ideas anyway...

Wow, must route totally different from my HKS, it doesn't go anywhere hear the driveshaft

Uh, you could get longer rubber hangars I guess? Try the ones for a WRX, they're longer than the Nissan ones. Doesn't explain why it's only just started hitting though...

You say your tailshaft is leaking? I'm really wondering if your trans mount isn't damaged (I know it's new, but even Nismo has defects now and then)

That's all I got man, sorry... best of luck

Try advance, look in the exhaust section where they have the bits of pipe... I seem to remember them having a few sizes on generic branded hangars... grag the one tha't about 3" between holes instead of 2" like ours...
