Ingalls ETD

hmm if you ever get a chance could you take a picture of what needs to be bent?

also - does anyone have an opinion on the mounting location of the Ingalls and FEELS etd. Which do you think would be more effective?

I'm not sure if this photo I took is good enough, but you can "at least" see that the o2 sensor is not really in the way of the bracket that goes to the engine, the 02 sensor wires have some slack that you can also bend the bracket further away from ETD bracket so as not to accidentally crush the wires...

The FEELS one will undergo less stress because it is mounted closer to the fulcrum point.

The Ingalls one might bend like what happened to JTso's original design.

Thanks for that I think I'm on top of it now - I can also see what you mean by "bare skin" it's not even red. Was it a difficult install?

Aaronn, does that mean the FEELS etd would be more or less effective at stopping engine movement?

The Ingalls jsracing spoon and JTso's original design are mounted on the same loaction. only the feels different

The Feels one will be more effective. Sometimes TOO effective.

As long as you can live with the increased cabin vibration.....

But on a lighter note, it's only vibrating when the car is idling

thanks for all the info guys, looks like I'll pick up the FEELS unit. It should really help with the movement in my exhaust system (the j's exhaust loves to move around)

a flex pipe would fix that.

If you like your comfy ride then a ETD or stiffer engine mounts ARE NOT for you.

ETDs were made to give a more comfortable ride than solid engine mounts. The FEELS one comes with poly bushings, unlike the US-made NRG dampers which come with spare rubber bushings in case you want it soft.
