It sounds like thump thump thump right quick then when i let of the noise is gone! What does this sound like it might be? Normal driving not a sound at all i know when i put my greddy muffler on it was some close to the rear end brace ( the pipe was very close to the rearend) maby that tis hitting when the car squats a bit. Any ideas thanks!

Driveshaft thump is pretty common on the awd dsm's. http://www.geocities.com/qwik93awd/Vfaq/rearendthumpfix.htm
