So I have a duck in my engine. Yes, a duck, when I accelerate, I hear a quack, and when I turn, I hear a quack lol, best way to describe it.
Any ideas, I think it's exhaust related, that's why I post it here.
Comes from the left side of the engine if I'm looking at the engine with the hood...
On the top. VC117 is way too long, about 3-4 inches too long and as thick as VC120, it will hit the hood if you try to mount it in the brackets.
BUT... I didn't want to mess with ordering another canister so I took off both canister braces, stuck it in there, shoved it down, zip tied and it...

Sigh, what a PITA. Just doesn't make sense why none of this was an issue prior the whole fing CEL bs.
And now the cabin smells like exhaust big time when I drive it lol.
