How are your pads looking? How is your entire braking system doing in general? A few pulsating senstions is normal.

For a RIP kit you need a piece of 2.5" pipe, around 18 inches should suffice, a hacksaw, Scissors. You need to cut your piping to allow the bend over the engine but as close to it as possible. Try not to have it sit on the fuel rail. Cut the needed tubes as needed.

Default brake noises

pads are around 60 % the thumping feels like its coming from just below the driver seat . also the pedal sinks while at a stop , like your bleeding the brakes.
