Had rear tires replaced and now odd noise

Hey guys I just had my two rear tires put on at wheel techniques...They put my car on their lift and I think it may have damaged the front part of my exhaust or cats. It almost sounds as if something is dragging when I rev the engine or accelrate rapidly. i looked underneath and could not see anything. I was taking my car in anyway next week for some other mods and now they'll have to look into this.....Any ideas as to what it could be..

Also was not very impressed with their customer service.....

Well, this is just ridiculous. My front end is definately damaged and possibly my exhaust. upon a cold start it sounds horrible and when driving is sounds as if something has been bent. These guys are going to have be responsible for the damage.....And I thought this place did good work???? They'll be getting a phone call tomorrow morning!!!!..

Wow! I trust that your car was not TOO low for the lift, if you know what I mean. Hopefully, they'll figure it out. Good luck!

The mystery is solved..I have a GT spec mid chassis brace that was bent when the car was driven on the lift. It was butted up against the engine so everytime I accelerated/decelerated or was on uneven pavement it would rattle against the engine....Thank gosh that's all it was....Not sure if i'm going to get a new one as I now have the richie front strut tower bar.....
