After reading through forum threads, I learned that tube is known as the snorkel. I did initially think to just remove it but then had the idea to super glue the loose snorkel piece back into the clip. I'm happy to report that the rattle is gone!

It was educational to read about the experiences and thoughts of forum members about different air intakes.

I installed the new KYB rear shocks today. The process went smoothly and just like the YouTube tutorials I watched.

Honestly, the old ones didn't look abnormal to me so the service report saying they were leaking and needed to be replaced may have just been trying to gouge $500 from the previous owner. Nonetheless, I'm pleased to have learned how to do something new.

I went ahead and rotated the tires and bought Mobil1 synthetic oil and filter since it's due for a change soon.

Compound and polish is on the todo list for Sunday Funday.
