Those are the obvious fixes. Is it the resonance frequency of the exhaust vibrating something else in your hatch/cabin?

Still cant get over the fact the Z is out of commision for who knows how long.

What makes it sad is its just chilling in the driveway, and from the side you see when you walk out of the door it looks just fine, until you walk around it. Plus it still runs and drives fine, other than i think the alignment got tweaked a bit by having a buck bounce off a wheel, because for the most part it still drives straight down the road even at 70

I was happy with them when I had my 350, times change.

I dont think so. It seems to be right at the drivers side test pipe. When she cools down Ill get back under there and make sure things are tight. Front end is all put together so I am not ripping it apart. Gigantic exhaust leak or not, she is going to Zdayz. Ill just have to make sure no one sees me get in or out of it.

The good news is my Ecutek bluetooth dongle is working with the phone app.

I am not sure what some of the stuff means but everything appears to be OK.

Check to make sure none of the heat shield bolts/studs are protruding to where they can potentially touch the test pipe when the engine twists under load.

Ordered a Sun Joe spx2500 pressure washer. Also some Milwaukee tools. Thinking of getting a foam cannon. Either Sun Joe or Dusichin.

Take it from Madwi and myself. Just get this thing and call it a day. Well worth the price.

So i take it you've had bad experiences with snow cannons? What makes this one good, in your opinion?

JARblue · 05-16-2018, 04:18 PM

My guess would be the price.

The basic one that came with my washer was made of soft plastic, weird filler head, and barely created a foam. More of just soapy water. I bought a knockoff foam lance afterwards and it broke within a few months time from under a handleful of washes.

Got the foam master thing Madwi recommended and now my car looks like it came straight out of a bukkake brazzers video. Besides that, the seal is wicked tight, the container is surdy and doesn't leak, the nozzle covers at 40 degree angles, and you can adjust the whole lance for best soap to water ratios.
