Engine light came on again, P2282, air leak between throttle body and intake valve. Looks like I'll be taking off the intake manifold again to try to figure out what I missed when I had it off last week.

Pretty sure it's there to deflect wind for aerodynamics and give you an extra 0.3 mpg. No big deal really, I removed mine when I ran aftermarket wires in that area since it was in the way.
Sounds about right, when I inspected closer I found that the broken part was still there. I glued it together. Couldn't see any real significance to it except that it's in front of the gas tank and lines.

Sounds like a debris shield so the gas lines and tank are protected fron road shrapnel.

Finished my Whiteline differential bushing installation (actually finished that part yesterday) by reinstalling the exhaust. Initial feel is that there's a solidity to acceleration.

Began installing Drake pedals. Got the pilot holes drilled and then decided to order some Cobalt bits. My cheap bits weren't cutting it. Went ahead and did the gas pedal. The brackets are a little off for a base model pedal it seems but it's attached pretty good.

If it's an OEM manifold, they do crack. Usually it creates a miss-fire code.

Can you post a link to the specific pedals you are using? I'm trying to find a larger/flatter clutch-pedal face.

Thanks.

Apparently, other than wash it, tore this thing half way ifo the bottom. Anyone know what it's called? Looks like it's there to protect the lines.
That looks like to glue gave up sticking. I'd bet some good silicon can take care of that cheap and easy.

Yesterday afternoon I installed the Whiteline transmission bushing insert.

I did not cut any holes, or modify the mount in any way, as I wanted a "baseline" on the additional NVH it caused.

There is most definitely some new rattles, vibes, and sensations, but shifting feels much nicer. I plan on putting a couple hundred of miles on the insert to 'break it in' before pulling it out to drill a hole or two.
I installed mine last week and drilled the 1” hole recommended. NVH is still there along with everything else you mentioned. I will say you get used to it and it’s well worth the benefit.
I'd wonder if some strategically placed Dynamat could help with the NVH increase?
