Default muffler clunking?

i did a search, and MDX owners have a weird clunking sound due to their fuel tank being long and narrow (and the gas sloshes around). some accord owners have their problem from an unsettled spring...

i dont think thats the case for my problem. ever since i had the mufflers removed and put back on, the rear end clunks while turning, going over bumps, just driving... i even hear it after stepping out of my car! all the o-rings are on tight.. i dont know what else it could be. anyone else have this annoying problem?

I had a clunk after having my exhaust replaced, and it turned out to be the dealer forgot to put one of the exhaust hangers on....

Cause and effect...

Once the hanger came off of one of my accords...it clunked when turning

Or maybe they used your jack, and didn't place it back right in the trunk, so now it shifts around
