First of all,if your going to be a regular poster here, you are gonna have to type in Eng-laysh. You wont get any serious answers to your questions otherwise.
Second, what the hell do you mean by road turtles??
And in answer to your problem, it sounds like the Diff mount, as Monkay said.

I think the air pump goes into the ACV, which leads out to the catalytic convertors.
Drive up to 45 mph, shift into 2nd and abruptly let out the clutch, does it make the clunk noise?
If so more than likely diff mounts. If not, more than likely diff mounts, a u-joint is usually a vibration.

To original poster: it not a good first impression to talk like a dumbass, if you want help use those grammar skills (i.e. not skillz) you learned in school and say in plain english what your issue is. People here might actually pay you some respect.
My guess is broken front differential mount, a broken u joint would cause increased vibration with increased speed. The front diff mount is a plague in the 2nd gen 7 one of my cars suffers from it and i'm to lazy to fix it

i was thinking you hit swerved to not hit a turtle in the road and hit a sign/road marker.
kinda off topic but i had a friend look at a turtle while racing i think at roebling? thinking it was a rock and he used it as a brake marker, haha next lap he comes back around, the turtle had walked off so he didnt see his brake marker until he was in the grass...

Yep, I just waited for a little more clarification to make sure we were talking about the same things...
Remember when the slammed Hondas used to brag about hitting the Botz Dotz on the road?
Same thing...
Why do people want to run their cars that low???

Road Turtles are no joke. In Garland Texas they can rise as high as 14". I've actually gotten out and measured. They usually divide the turning lanes from the lanes that proceed straight. So you can't switch within the last 50'-100'. Some vehicles can clear them, most sedans and sports cars can't. So they don't effectively work with everyone. I've gotten a flat, and busted a rim because someone cut me off and force me to move over and take a chance with a turtle. Turtle won, my rim lost.
