97' Low end Noise

When luggin the engine (about 600-800 r's) or starting out sometimes I get a loud noise like something is rubbing/shaking against something else. I've looked at everything I could think of. The exhaust seems to be fairly tight. Anyone have any ideas to what this noise is coming from?

Is it a dull thudding like a broken motor mount, or a clanking like exhaust pipes?

might be the engine torquing up and the fan rubbing the shroud ... broken/loose motor mount.

It sounds more like a clanking of exhaust pipes or maybe a heat shield. I'll have to look again at the motor mounts.

The flywheel has been switched to the single one.
