    It dampens the glovebox so it doesn't slam open.

    More horse power. Open and close the glove box a few times just before taking off from the line and it will give you an extra boost.

    @lynlan1819 Put the male piece on your glove box assembly in the upper hole on the dampener it should go right back together. Was probably removed for a cabin filter change

    Don't worry, after removing it a few times to change air filters, route wiring, etc. the cheap-assed molded plastic pins will no longer hold it in place and then your glove box will just flop down when you open it. :boink:
