Bolt is rubbing in engine bay. Solution?
Since I have the insulator and the plenum spacer, that back bolt is rubbing that metal part right behind the hood. When I drive, it sounds really bad. I was thinking about putting a piece of rubber between them, but I am scared it'll melt or something. Does anybody have any idea what I could do?
I would take the bolt out, but that is a lot of work just to do that. Just wanted to see if there was an easier solution. let me know! |

My advice is take the plenum spacer off!
It's "potential" benefit is to prevent the knock sensors from pulling timing- and you can bet the knock sensors are going crazy everytime that bolt starts rockin' on the bonnet! |

Do you really need that bolt? think of it as weight reduction.

If you listen closely, I recorded the sound. It drives me nuts. I was driving so I am sorry that my exhaust kicks in. |

ohh ok. Well there is a bolt on the back (towards the console inside the car) that you should not install. It seems worth it at first but there are many people who complained about this. I was warned, and now I regret doing it.
