i just installed my badmab catless dp. I also added the defouler and i didnt know if i used the nut and washer that came with it. So i just left it on there and installed it... Now the defouler is in a position where it hits the heat shield causing it to rattle. Will someone please explain how to use the nut to position the defouler in a position where it wont rattle and also be able to have enough cord for the sensor to reach the defouler

 

I had to ditch the washer at least iirc in order to make sure it didnt hit the heat shielding

 

iirc? did you use the nut?

 

IIRC is if I remember correctly. I know it was too long with everything on. I don't think I used the nut if the defouler is able to be spun on without the nut do so, it will gain you an extra 1/4"

 

Okay thanks for the info

 

Did you get the Vibrant defouler or a generic Autozone one (HELP brand)?

 

Mine rattles with a defouler I need to fix it, I have the Vibrant angled defouler from Modern Performance

 

It also doesn't hurt to bend the heatshield a little I did that when I had my badmab without the defouler because the wires would rub. You should be able to just push on it with a finger or your hand.

 

Mine rattles a bit but only when it's cold, I might climb under and see if it's hitting or if it's just the vibration.

 

I had to bend my heatshield a little bit when I installed my dp as well.

 

i have the vibrant

 

same , just bend the heat shield

 

Like they said, just bend the heat shield. Mine has the washer on it still too. It's situated in a way that the defouler points to the front of the car. Works pretty well.

 

i know to bend the heat shield.
Frogstofall did you use the nut also?
