Wink Malayalee King Meets Megan
yes, some issues





between 1K-2K the engine moves forward due to the amounts of torque in the low band, and when you hit vtec it moves forward. needless to say, it hits the frame = vibration!

but we can fix this... We can rebuild you. Better. Stronger. Faster. We have the technology

Malayalee -- That sucks, dude. Have you talked to the manufacturer about it??

put a sticky padding on the pipe so that wen i hits the frame it wont vibrate. i did this with my sri where it was hitting the metal so i put 3m tape with the padding on 1 side and it dosent scratch it ne more.

Lightbulb Update
So after some investigative work, I did confirm where the pipe was hitting the frame (just making sure)

Prep...double sided tape and painters masking paper





And the verdict...after hitting 80 a couple times







fine,

Eh, find out from megan or someone else on howto tell the latest batch. The guy on ebay couldve "accidently" sent you the wrong one.

I wouldnt be so quick to cut my frame for a header, Megan is usually good about upgrading batches if you tell em the problem. Might have to pay shipping or something or a small fee.

What was that word you used again? I didn't quite hear you! hahaha.

1. Did you use stock gaskets? Old nuts?

2. Who did the install?
