I'm making this thread so people can ask a random little question without making a totally new thread for that small question that doesn't need a whole thread. Obviously i had to break the ice on this new forum 'tool' (as i am going to put it) and or/idea and make a thread for my random little question. Reply if you want, ask questions if you got 'em! 
Anyways, my question is, i recently replaced the bracket in my door because the **** started popping all the way down the road. An annoying pop that went away when i held the top of the handle with my hand. I originally replaced the bracket because some where down the line, it got bored out. Seemed to happen after i hit that MAJOR rattle making pot hole down in Jacksonville florida that shook me and my car to bits.
It has been popping ever since.
Replaced bracket, and it still pops. I added felt all around it to see if that would help and it didn't. I am almost thinking that it could be happening in between where the leather armrest 'handle' thing at the top is joining with the plastic door panel (because those aren't one piece, correct?) and if so, is there any way to get under there to add some felt? Does anyone else even have an annoying pop that CANNOT be drowned out? It honestly drives me so far up the wall that i am having a hard time breathing rom the altitude. I am about ready to just dynomat the crap out of the door.
Any suggestions for 'pop' removal would be appreciated.

there are three or four screws and a few clips
also you will have to remove the window garnish at the front top of the door
make sure to get the screw under the arm rest handle cover, it pops off. there is a small slot at the bottom to pry it off with a screwdriver.
you can lift off the door skin once you have pulled the push clips away from the door frame, there are a few wire connectors and screws but once there out you can get at everything.
and yes the armrest is more than one piece, possibly you have a broken plastic tab on the inside

Ok this may be a stupid question, but I am trying to find out from the guys that have aftermarket/custom exhaust setups if you guys noticed an increas or decrease in mpg after you had it installed (driving conservatively and aggresively vs the stock exhaust option.)

Went to Len Stoler Nissan in Owings Mills, MD today for an oil filter and crush washer. I did what Bluedream suggested and asked if they had a "discard parts" pile (hoping there'd be an HR Y buried in there somewhere), but it was a no go. He gets me the filter and washer then pulls up the Y pipe in the system. I asked him how much- he smiled politely, printed the receipt summary, laid it down on the table, then slid it over to me... $568.65!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me???!?!?!!!? You can almost buy an entire exhaust system for that!! And the saddest part is I was weighing the pros and cons in my head if I were to buy it, lol!!! Am I the only poor sap that's totally desperate for one?
