Exhaust knocks when wet

When it's been raining or it is raining, and I'm driving my Teg I start to get a horrible knocking from underneath the car, which I'm sure can only be the exhaust, iv checked it out on a ramp and nothing is that close to the body of the car.

Does anyone else have this problem? Can it be solved ?

Thanks

i had this on one of my civics, was a custom made exhaust but when wet it used to knock on the shift linkages. never got it fixed though.

If you already haven't, check the backbox right hand rubber hanger. My exhaust developed a loud fast knocking after a trackday and it turned out the rubber hanger had slid one way on the metal rod welded to the exhaust, and this made it bang against the chassis.
Maybe the mounts get wet and slide around a bit.
