here is an image of the bracket on the back of the intake

I'd try loosening the largest clamp and re-adjust it. Then loosen the smallest hose clamp which connects the gruppe m to the intake hose, and move the whole kit closer to the fire wall/scoop. Then should it move or slip later on, it should only move and hit the edge of the cowl.
I also put some small bits of double sided tape between carbon intake chamber and metal intake snout, to minimise any noise or movement.
huh??? o_0Quote:

im not having any issues with my gruppe M
Where can you get those mounting brackets from? As I need one since mine never came with it.
mines on and tight actually. tried tightening it but it wouldnt go any tighter! dont wanna break it!
ill have a proper look when i put in my induction hose i guess.
If u can spin the main body of the gruppe m then its not tighten down enough. Loosen the large clamp n make sure ur on properly then tighten till the main body needs resistance to spin. It shouldn't spin freely. If u really can't tighten up anymore then what u have then looks like a issue with the sizes of both parts which is preventing u to getting them both clamped down n tightened
Man, helping my friend with his EP3...
So many parts discontinued!
What's the compatibility of DC5R to EP3R regarding catback? As far as I can see from OH/Google, everything should fit except with some hanger issues and the tip will poke out more?
Cause my friend wanted a Kakimoto Fullmega N1+ Rev for his EP3R but they're discontinued... DC5R is still in production/available?
The other plan was to get the Axleback Philip Lee has and have a custom centre pipe made for it...
And it seems FGK has discontinued their Headers soo fun for me to find him a replacement...
NB: Before you start on the get a replica/USDM/etc he wants only JDM cause that's how he is so please don't bother me with your 2c ;)
As far as i know everything should bolt up and only the tip will stick out more since the EP3 body is slightly shorter than the DC5, purely aesthetics.Quote:
