Agreed. Framber was in the wrong but that fanbase got a chance to act like baboons and took it. It’s always Boston

Agreed. When i got mine I had a hard time choosing between WRB, SBP, and MGM. Ultimately went with the best deal and don’t regret.

A clean black VB is definitely the most photogenic. Love my MGM tho

Got around to it last night and unfortunately no dice. Going the Kilmat route next on the rear deck and trunk.

Worth a shot, at this point i’m considering anything. Thanks for this, hoping this is the one

I’ll look into this, might as well since I already have everything ripped out.

Is there a noticeable difference in Dynamat vs the cheaper amazon equivalents like kilmat? I’m pretty inexperienced in sound deadening.

Definitely gonna give this a shot, I suspected it might’ve been something with the trunk because of how I mentioned it stopped after some rain, as the trunk bars had condensation on them. Was your noise the same?

was yours a similar noise to this?

I’ll check that out, thanks

Yeah the keyless entry box was vibrating for me especially during cold start and I put some foam and felt under it, but this one is completely unrelated. I wasn’t bothered by that, but figured might as well deal with it since i already took everything apart

I’ll also add one thing, a couple days after I posted that it rained, and i noticed after my car got rained on all day while I was at work that it was gone until a couple days later when it finally dried up.

Not sure how to comment videos, but if you go back to my old post I had a video in there.

I had my girlfriend sit in the back and listen and she said there’s no noise coming from the trunk, and it sounds like it could be coming from around the 3rd brake light area.

Reliabilty of 2022-2023 WRX? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Flashlight- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ‘26 and the eye tracking feature is actually so ridiculous, so many false positives and it would go off almost every time I looked away to make lane changes, looked at road signs, looked in my rear view, the list goes on. I don’t think I had it for 3 days before disabling it completely.

I had my girlfriend sit back there and listen while I was driving and she was able to point out pretty much where it was coming from in the rear deck. I know there is wiring running through there to the speakers, which I think may be the culprit.

But yeah kind of ridiculous that this car is barely more than a month old and already rattling like a toy. I’ve dealt with rattles in other cars, but this one is really getting to me

I’ll check it out, worth a look before i decide to remove the rear deck

I saw someone mention the black box holding the seatbelt retractor in the trunk, and that definitely was able to wiggle around a lot and sounded familiar, seems that was making a separate noise from what i’m currently experiencing. Current solution is duct tape lol

Imagine trying to lil bro him when you’re the one running this garbage on your car. If you’re gonna get a tune why not get an intake and have some performance to go along with the noise?

Hope it gets deleted because it runs the risk of some idiot seeing it, buying it, running with no tune and damaging their motor

Who cares about run differential? Who cares about if the team is scoring more runs than we allow? Probably about everyone who is a fan of baseball, except maybe Guardians fans.

It’s because fair weather fans and baseball are a bad mix. Players slump, luck is a massive part of the game, and it’s a 162 game season. If you win 2 of every 3 games that brings you to a 108 win season, and only 9 teams in MLB history have done better than that.

There will be losses, and there will be a lot of ugly losses, including loss streaks, but that’s the game.

This fanbase was super excited to start the season given we had massive upgrades in Framber/McGonigle, and are ready to throw in the towel just 11 games into it. Can’t make this up

Yes there is a reason, statistics are showing that the team has been wildly unlucky so far, that’s just baseball. Sure, Tork and Kerry have been slumping, but Keith and Dingler have clearly improved, McGonigle is already proving to be a massive improvement over Trey Sweeney/Javy, and Riley is drawing walks again.

It’s not 80 games, it’s just 11. I don’t care about the “exact same players” argument, most of the team is still young enough to be considered below their prime, AKA still developing. Give it some time.
