is it like a twangy spring noise? if so top mount bearings are shot.
If it's more of a knocking then it sounds like something wasn't bolted back up right.

yes the exhaust is hitting the s/bumps and this metal strip going across under the middle of the car
but this noise is definatly coming from the wheel area n/s front
