It damps the vibration though !!!!!!

Anyway, undo the top bolt, warm up the car to normal temps and then adjust the length of the fitting so you can fit the top bolt back in. Lock the length with the lock nut.

Makes the vibration worse , the rs500 version stops the vibration/resonance as i have found out after swapping from the hanger type to the horseshoe type

Sorry but how can it dampen its ridged its there to take some of the strain off the manifold studs by supporting the weight from the top.
