Banging noise in back/trunk area...
Since I put in the catback, anytime my back suspesnion hit a bump or drop or rise, there is some kind of bang noise. It's not super loud, and I don't know if anyone else can hear it. It could be something loose, or something out of place. Well I took the spare tire out and looked for anything loose and i put it back and the noise is still there. When I was putting the catback in, I did run into a problem and ended up disconnecting my right rear arm(which is the area I hear the general sound from) but I screwed it back in exactly how it was before.
Can anybody just throw some ideas out there for me to check and see if it'll fix the problem????

Its the Borlas put back on the SLPs and all your noises will go away,check around the control arms and gas tank. You must not jack up the car on the frame rails as you will not be able to see where its rubbing try to get blocks under the wheels or that ramp that they sell everywhere. You basically need to jack up the car but with the suspension at rest.

Yeah, a guy around age 45 who installed springs with me raised it there and I raised it when I put the borla in. It's really the only way to lift the car completely off the ground with only one jack.

I've heard that too, but thats the only way to go about doing it. I've done it plenty of times and haven't had any problems..

mine also lowered too, but you must have some crazy lowering springs. But I know in the owners manual, it says "do NOT lift using the differential". haha oh well.

Just an update: I fixed the problem today. When installing the exhaust, I had loosened a screw on the right rear arm and never tightened it back. But once I tightened it a good amount, no more bump. Just for future reference for anyone else.
