[B]Vapors, I had your prototype pics on my laptop while I was trying to install mine. The AC lines on my car where definitely lower than yours. I appreciate the work you did to get J's a prototype. There is no way you would have known others would

Yes, less engine vibration, less torqing of the of the engine, shifting is less notchy, rev-matching at high rpms and heel-toeing are easier in terms of shifting.

I had my J's damper/STB combo for a long time and didn't install it right away because I didn't have time to deal with the potential fitment problem. When I finally installed it, which was not a big deal, took a few hours to figure out how it worked best and...it is great...immediate improvement in vibration and shifting. I love it.

btw, the Js heatshield does not fit the spoon header.

I think most everyone that has an 01 had minimal fitment problems, the 02 and up seemed to have more. The shield didn't work for the Toda header either.

The AC lines were in the way, and had to be moved quite a bit...and the STB was in the way for the cruse control cable. Ultimately, it should be better...but I am happy with the result to overlook the fitment issues that I am able to resolve and be happy with.
