so lately, I've been hearing some clonkin noise from the back... especially when i'm turning.... I don't think it's the exhaust.... it's pretty tight, I'm thinkin it's my spare tire..... anyone else had this b4?

ya' my spare was battoned down, but all the other stuff (jack, wrench etc) was clunking every once in a while. wrap 'em up and they'll be quiet.

i've got mine out of the car now. the whole spare-tire-stuff including the plastic housings are gone. replaced w/foam amp and spkr.

btw, a lot of road noise is coming from that area. its just a big hollow tub. reach under the bumper and tap on it. tooonnngggg toonngg!! stupid hollow tub :lol:

see, why i prefer boost? constant power, not a sudden spike in power provided by lift.

Yeah... I actually did. There are two compartments one on each side where you can service the tail lights at. Make sure that if you have anything in there that it is secure because they will shift and cause a clunk. Or at least mine did.
