Could you provide the auction number. Would be interested in seeing who was selling a new one for that cheap. Was the seller from Anaheim, CA

thanks

Probably not. The customer that sold this had 2 of our dampers. The first one he said the damper kit came with scratch marks. So he sent pictures. We sent him a replacement damper kit. With a tag to receive the scratched one back. Well we have never got the scratched one back yet. Ill be dammed if the customer kept the second one for himself and sold the scratched one on ebay.

this is why Weapon-R will change its policy starting NOW! No exchanges for anything our mistake or not. Items will need to be returned for exchange first. Customers keeping product without returning is not going to happen again.

this will effect the honest customer and we are sorry about that.

let me know if yours come with some scratches on the damper then we will know which one he sold you. Functionality still is great.

Oh wow, I hope im not going to have a problem with this product, i can deal with the scratch's

I had no idea and neather did my family.

here is the Ebay Number - 110310893216

Sorry to hear about this going on with Weapon-R company, try and be a decent company and do good buy your customers but just some people just take advantage of a good thing and good company.


Hope this helps.


Im hopeing im still going to get my part, and hope it does not get repossessed

Update! we received the original damper that seems to have been damaged.

Have you received your damper from eBay yet?

Awesome that you received it. Also no washers are required on our damper. just support the engine under with a jack and wood. then jus take out the one nut and the one bolt and drop the bracket in place and bolt back down.

You're not lifting it, you're supporting it. The one piece of the damper bolts to the motor mount. If you unbolt the motor mount, the motor could slip down.
Correct me if I'm wrong. :D

question. i have a K&N intake and tsudo dual exhaust. i get a strange rattle noise in high rpms. took it to the dealer hoping they could fix it. said its excesive engine rattle do to my mods. do you think a damper would help with this? the noise comes from the center consol area and sounds like a high pitch rattle.
