jamakalbi Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 got my k1 through from CS lightening fast but decided to get it fitted locally as in Essex The garage after taking off the stock found the mid pipe was sitting on the sub frame ( seen in different thread someones was 3mm away but mine was sat on it) and would badly vibrate though the car which of course at first was bit worrying! Was told pipe was supposed to have a bend to go round the frame but know after going on Japspeed site this aint right and put it down to them not doing work on Zeds before, CS was quick on the mark to let me know this is what supposed to be like Decided to just head up to CS next sat to get it done which is easier Just wondered what problems with vibrations other k1 owners have had because of this? Also seen some people using heatproof material to prevent it. this worth while? other advise is much appreciated people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Should just be a case of sticking some heatproofing between the subframe and exhaust to dampen the vibrations. Mine was fine untill i bottomed out on my driveway bending the subframe slightly, just jacked it up and teased the frame back into shape. Mine also had another rattle coming from the left bung, so now have them out the whole time, its so loud you can't hear any more rattling .

Ekona Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 No vibrations at all with mine, or at least none that you can hear over the exhaust anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 No vibrations at all with mine, or at least none that you can hear over the exhaust anyway. Especially when you're driving behind me Luckily, mine doesn't touch the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 No vibrations at all with mine, or at least none that you can hear over the exhaust anyway. Different under a roadster tho isnt it? This is one of the things that put me off the Japspeed, lots of people have rattling, their manufacturing tollerances are very lax, hence the low prices! My mate has a japspeed header on his S2000, and the weld / fabrication quality is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
