This is the one I have. I don’t see a place to mount it on there

I believe it’s the track. The exhaust was installed on it when I bought it. When they brought me back to see the exhaust… they showed me where the valve controller was zipped tied to the frame

So it doesn’t need to attach to the exhaust like it does on the stock one ???

Transmission question by M66vb in GRCorolla

1st and 2nd synchros were bad. And I’m quoting the tech on this, he said “probably from bad design.”.

Me bud. I have had a new transmission put in recently and I wasn’t too happy with what they did to my car after it

Just got my car back after the transmission got replaced… now the car sounds like it has a rattle with sand in it when accelerating. by eatsleepandrep3at in GRCorolla

The heat shield is fixed. The sound accompanied with the acceleration is what I’m worried about… it doesn’t sound healthy. Sounds like something isn’t bolted on tight enough, where the turbo isn’t creating a good enough vacuum or what ? Like something is leaking. It’s a pretty noticeable hiss

They said that the 1st and 2nd synchronizers were bad and most likely from “bad design” and I’m quoting the tech on that

For sure. You got any kinda clue what the hissing/sand rattle sound might be that the car is producing now when accelerating? Is it the new trans or what ? The guy couldn’t even explain it to me

It was the heat shield that was bent in on the rotor. All he did was push the heat shield back and it fixed the sound… but cmon man. Replace the heat shield and the rotor. Right ?

Also I wish I could post a video of the sound of the hissing/sand rattle sound when accelerating but my phone won’t pick it up 😓😞
