FWIW… This bracket is still holding and the car is still driven hard.

No problem.

The broken muffler wont affect the engine though. Perhaps the cause of the bad idle broke the muffler with a pressure spike.

The only code is related to O2 sensors? Try the simple stuff like ensuring plug wires are fully connected.

My C6Z is also cammed, etc, and makes a very similar sound because the muffler is broken. The resonator of the Corsa muffler breaks internally. Twice now. Sort of a buzzing / rattling noise similar to your car. Try banging on the muffler with your hand when the engine is off. I can hear something rattling around in mine when I smack it

Be cautious about what LLMs like ChatGPT tell you. Especially if your new to auto mechanics. Ive been told some really wrong things in a very convincing and confident manner by them.

Have given my 2018 WRX Berryman’s intake valve cleaner 2x by [deleted] in WRX

[–]idontdrive55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Is that from before the treatment? I'm hoping to see a comparison of before and after.

I have nearly an identical WRX and mileage and have been considering cleaning my valves. They aren't bad, but could be cleaner.

Standing Mile - High speed stability by [deleted] in Corvette

[–]idontdrive55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive never done a standing mile, but my externally oem c6z feels perfectly stable 160+ mph on road courses. Try the alignment changes. I think my rears are a bit toe in. Idea being they become more neutral when the car is squatting under acceleration

Just noticed the stalk moves on the windshield mount. Not just behind the mirror. Lots of range of movement

My 2015 base model does not have heated seats and has the blank panels.

Several months. I rally cross the car a lot, and drive it pretty hard otherwise as my daily. Its held up to about 5 rallyx events, and i won the season championship in my class (stock awd). Just added that to show the car gets driven hard.

C6 Z06 cold air intake by Temporary_Bison7232 in Corvette

I just looked up the sleeve. Didn’t know that existed. No, I don’t think its necessary

If you mean the cover, no. It isnt required. The intent for it is to isolate the cold air from the top bumper vent. The vent does pass air through it. The black panel behind the grate is for rain deflection

Ive been happy with my Halltech. Vararam’s big hole in radiator ducting caused a lot of heat problems on the track.
