Welcome to SOF from Lindsay!
Your Sonic looks to be an LTZ; Nice. Thanks for the pic.
Hello! and welcome! I drove past you and past Lindsay on the weekend!
Check the forum here for lots of valuable information. For you, you can find a much better replacement for your end links on this site somewhere.
Also, be sure to check your rubber intake tube just below the air filter. They almost all seem to crack on a 2012 LT.
Thanks! What happens if the rubber intake tube cracks? Does it cause any issues?
Well it will set off some codes in the engine only sometimes. But what it does it let air into the engine that is not going through the air filter. If you didn't need to have that air filtered, you wouldn't have an air filter to begin with!
