is this normal?

 

Email mike to double check if that's meant to be there. When I got mine I thought it was damaged with a small flat spot but it was just fine. I have a feeling that is on all of them so you should be ok

 

Dont worry Its suppossed to be like that.... when I got mine i freaked out too

 

I hope your not trying to put that on the Hyundai in the driveway

 

hahaha when I asked the same question when i got mine LMAO....it's for fitment !!!

 

Looks like a dent to me.

 

yup its going on my hyundai!

anddd were installing it as we speak
didnt know how to oem j pipe was so tiny jeez.
i wish i got an atlp sticker though

 

also debadgin my car right now
not going so good
my fingernail ripped off trying to get the glue offfff

 

never use your fingernails you're going to scratch the heck out of the crappy acura paint. use a hairdryer and bug and tar remover and u can roll the glue right off with your finger.

 

to lateee
...
i cleaned it off good though now you can tell nothign was there.

on the j pipe we had fitment issues
there was a dapaner thing that i think helps you save your tranny if you bottom out and we took it off i took pictures and will post when i get home

 

If you are talking about the black piece of plastic, most of us either just cut off the overlap or removed the plastic piece entirely.

 

Is it this damper ? If so, this is just a vibration damper to remove that last 1% of vibration that someone might feel. You will be fine with it removed.






This illustrates where the engine cradle damper is located.

 

Just installed my V2 J-pipe last night! No issues but I didn't get a chance to really test out my car. Will be doing that tonight along with reseting the ECU.

Johnjohn, how long did it take you to install? I had access to a lift and it took about 20 minutes

 

You could always just ask Mike about it, he's a good guy that stands behind his products. If its the dampener that Jpipe hooks into, I took that off without any issues as well...

 

yeah took it off.the dapaner
that thign was heavy as hell
and it took us about 3 and a half hours cause we only had jacks and had a few fitment problems specially with the plastic covering

 

The Engine cradle damper *is* heavy for it's size. It weighs 3.5 lbs.
