What is this? (Noobery)

[Theory208]

What is this? Some weight ballast or some thing? Does it need to be there? Cause it's 2.5 lbs I'd rather not be carrying. Thanks

But what I'm wondering is, will it affect anything (if removed) like bolt's loosening up or something like that? I can see it now, the one part on my car that's been minding it's own business for the last 140K... I take it off, and 20 miles later wondering what the f*** is wrong with my car now? And have to blame it on that stupid piece of rubber I should have just left alone.

"engine vibration keeper downer" lol thats the OEM name? guess honda ran out of names for parts

What year and model is your car?

I can't find that, nor have I ever seen that in my car before
