Check your motor mounts. If it looks like this replace it.

is it coming from the passenger front or underneath the passenger seat? do you still have a stock drive shaft or are you running an sye? if your still running a stock shaft it could be the slip yoke clunking. happens a lot when braking or accelerating hard if it hasn't been greased in a while
