Okay guys, NRG screwed up. They don't make the chrome 1/2 pressure (the aftermarket version) anymore. You have the option of switching to CF 1/2 pressure, or receiving an additional $10 off. Switching will involve us returning the current order for a new one so we're looking at more processing time for that.

FWIW I saw both versions and the stock version comes with an extra piece to increase the length of the damper about 2 inches. In other words it looks like it's not really a reduced pressure, but changing the leverage of the damper on the hood. So the stock version may work fine on your aftermarket hood.

Let me know what you guys want me to do.

eo2am, I'll be sending your order out ASAP.

Would it be possible to contact NRG to confirm if removal of the attachment will allow it to work? I just think it'd be best to streamline this as much as possible for your sakes...

Question

Has anyone put theirs on their aftermarket hood yet (CF)? If so, any issues?

My camera is broken and I can't describe it too well, but with the stock dampers you have to install this extra piece. The aftermarket ones have a different connector.

I borrowed Phantom_FD's picture:

Is this the case? I mean will the stock version work fine withthe aftermarket hood?

I personally am not in any major rush for this, so I dont mind changing it for the CF one. But if the stock will work, without causing any harm to the hood (especially if Ramy gets me that R-Spec Hood) then I'll stick with the one they shipped to make things easier on you guys.

We obviously can't guarantee anything, but I was just pointing out what I noticed upon inspection. I figured a lot of people would be getting fed up with the delays that kept happening so I offered an alternative. If you're not in a hurry then just play it safe and get the aftermarket one.

Yea, I wasn't sure if it was just an observation or poiting out that it would probably work since it was tested. I can wait, so please change mine to CF.

Thanks Jason!

We've inquired what needs to be done to exchange the dampers and are waiting on a response.

Of course they're slow...no manufacturer wants to pay for return shipping on an order they screwed up, AND forward shipping of the correct parts to complete the order... I'm pushing 'em, so it'll get done, but they're undoubtedly going to drag their feet on it.
