It's a daily so I'm not really sure. I wouldn't mind an fx35 either though.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Cops love when you start rummaging through stuff when they pull you over.

Ehh x5s are what I really want, but I'm not willing to pay 50k for one and I refuse to finance. I found one I liked. 13k miles 2011 fully loaded silver with black interior and diesel! It's perfect, but it's 51k back to tahoes I go.

well i think i may have figured out my popping (and still have to check the lugs to make sure) i now have an exhaust rattle that sounds like a bolt came loose, and since it is loose the whole exhaust is moving and hitting the frame... it was pretty close to the drivers side frame so i am thinking that is it

the way my exhaust is made (invidia gemini) it uses the stock hanger on the drivers side, and the two on the mufflers themselves, but there is nothing on the passenger side to keep it centered and from flexing/shifting. does anyone know how to weld that could put a post on the passenger side so that i can get a hanger on it? i thought i saw a bolt that looks like it would hold a hanger when a shop had it up on a lift. anyone have any other suggestions?

Travis, just crank everything down really good. If you still hear that noise then it is time to get under the car and figure it out.
If you need a garage to work in you can always use mine if Jakes is occupied.
