Maybe hes "sick" of the "knocking"? [/end corny]

It would be helpful if you posted a mods list. Is your suspension stock? Any idea where the knock is coming from? Front or rear? Stock exhaust and Y-pipe?

That'll help us narrow it down a bit at least. Most common things are probably y-pipe hitting, or loose LCA bolts. But it really could be a 100 different things causing it.

X2 sounds like possibly the y pipe if you have upgraded exhaust. List your mods for us

I am having a knock from something underneath my shifter around the tranny..i just had a 3" y pipe and slp exhaust put in..there seems to be enough clearance and i took that bracket off that bolts underneath where the y is and bent it more for clearance. but there is still something knocking around the 3-4k rpms.
