was it raining when you were driving? This usually happens in the rain with aftermarket exhaust. Also get under there and wiggle your exhaust around and see if it hits anything. It might be hitting the heatshield or the upper part of the car.

No, iy has nothing to do with you washing your car. It is just a bad fitment exhaust or bad install and is hitting the underside. What brand did you go with?

yea washing your car shouldnt have any effect on it. I was saying if you are driving in the rain, it happens, but like bobbyd said, it is probably hitting underneath the car somewhere, and it just need more support or moved around a bit.
