I'm nearly done modding for the time being and I seem to have an excessive amount of shakes, rattles and squeeks. Am I a poor mechanic or is everybody else experiencing similar annoyences??? I'm having trouble tracking down a couple of them.

I lowered and stiffened the suspension, put in a 1 piece aluminum DS, LT headers with catted X, GTA's, CAI, Tune, Pro 5.0, etc.

Remaining noises to be resolved:
a) The infamous front suspension thunking noise. This recently became worse and I think it may be due to the warm weather but, thats only a theory. If anybody has anything definitive on this, please tell. I'm tired of the other post with 47 pages.
b) I have a squeak/rattle which may be coming from inside the car under the dash but, it started as soon as I installed the LT's so I'm not sure if its coincidence or something is loose (inside or outside the cabin) from the headers install.
c) There is a sound that I call "air friction" that seems to be coming through the hole in the floor from the stick. I'm not sure if this is due to the higher volume of air going through smaller cats (which are now directly underneath the console) or there is increased air friction on the outside of the headers/x-pipe that is no more audible than the stock manifold/H-pipe.
d) I just developed a squeak in the right rear which put me over the top to write this post.

I like the aggresive sound,handling and power. Am I just being a p*%%y or are other experiencing similar issues.

Any input on resolutions would be appreciated.
