Post Engine Torque Damper

Hey there,

Just a quick question: Is there any point getting a Engine Torque Damper for a standard AP1 engine??

If so, is there much difference betweent he $200 and the $40 ones mentioned on ebay apart from being genuine/authentic??

Thanks in advance.

actually its supposed to give you ebtter throttle sresponse. it just locks down the motor. its like using a solid mount but because of the style of mounts we have its easieer to use a ETD.

can't exactly recall but wasn't there an issue with how they were mounted could contribute to cracking components where it's mounted?


or am i just a worry wart?

I have an ingalls. It made shifting feel a bit better. Other than that it just looks pretty.
