It's just a band aid.

Those are just Factory donut gaskets, spring and hardware that come on most older Hondas. Nothing new there sorry.

The gaskets can deteriorate, and the springs lose their tension with age & heat. So if your original parts are as old as the car, it can make a difference. But yeah, it's the same as buying new factory parts...

I'm surprised it doesn't include the rubber hanger-donuts that hold the exhaust system up. Those stretch a lot with age.

But if YOUR rattle is coming from a loose heatshield, that stuff won't fix it.

That kit was only put out to cure complaints of an exhaust system buzz at 1800 rpms. It doesn't usually work very long. (if at all)
