i was just wandering if torque dampers make much difference? and if anyone has one installed, and what are their opinions/feedback on these devices? any feedback is appreciated.

cheers.

What are you trying to do with your car? No point unless you want to do redline full throttle hard fast shifting.

tony ur bro is right theres no point for u as u may never track you car and it will make it pointless. just an expensive piece of bling

My opinion of the Ingalls torque damper is that it gives my car more throttle response, it definitely accelerates a lot harder and the engine sounds much nicer.

I've never taken my car to the track and never plan to. The difference is night and day, even as a daily drive

i just want to make the car feel more responsive to me when im driving it hard. i know its not a power house, i just want it to feel like one! lol.

Definitely worth it in my opinion. I personally feel that my car accelerates harder and it's not only my own butt dyno. My brother said exactly the same thing when he drove it. The RPM needle just flies! The engine is (and SOUNDS) a completely different beast when you vtec it.

At ~$200, it'll be one of the cheaper mods you can buy for your car.

i dont see how the damper changes the sound of the car, the reason ur needle is flying is due to wheel spin (if in 1st Gear).

dampers are suppose to give smoother gear changes, put power to the ground and take stress of the joints when hard shifting

helped in my car. My rear engine mount was broken at the time and i put one in, it helped stop the motor moving and the car didn't hop as much.

I got a cheapy for like $100, easier than fixing the rear mount at the time, but after i did all my mounts + energy suspension it was great.

I don't know how it works. My cabin is much more rough, and the engine is a lot louder throughout the whole rev range.
