Default My car makes popcorn/

The only problem is that I cant find it. It doesn't show up in the love compartment or the center console. Even looked the trunk.

Whenever I turn the off I have lots of popping and clicking. What can I do to make it sound more like a lexus and less like a 14 year old car?

A custom exhaust will stop that noise. The factory exhaust have those little heat sheilds all over .They expand when hot so after driving it is normal for it to cool down and make some noise. Since i did my custom 3 inch to 2.5 exhause i never heard that sound again.

It must be the 3,000 BHP that your car produces from the factory. Its a rare option you know...
