Hey folks -

I have an '18 tS, the first time I noticed a pop, which sounds like it coming from the suspension, was after I got it washed/detailed/etc. for the first time. Figured it was just some water sitting somewhere that was popping out after sitting stagnant for a bit, because it quickly went away. It xontinued to happen after washes and rain as well. It would pop a few times, and then disappear.

Fast Forward to last week -- I picked up my car after having JDL Catted UEL Header and Catted/Resonated Combo/Front Pipe installed, and now I'm hearing a similar sound, but over almost every bump. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't, but it's a bit hard to narrow down the specific location. I'm wondering if these flexible v-bars and draw stiffeners are prone to this noise? Maybe the strut is blown? Perhaps one of the new pipes isn't clearly perfectly and hitting something? Or the big shield underneath is loose somewhere? Anyone with a tS getting a similar sound or anyone have any insight?

I'm going to bring it back to PTuning tomorrow and have them check over everything thoroughly since its been worse since its been there, but any insight to point them towards would be appreciated. Hopefully its nothing serious, that I will have to return to the dealer about, but so be it if I must.
