here is how to adj as per garms post incase people are curious..

screw towards the damper makes it tighter better but more cabin noise
screw away from damper makes it loose less cabin noise but defeats the purpose of adding this thing.. but you can go neutral and still feel the difference of having one without annoying cabin noise....

lol, srry marcus u should have pmed me. it really is a trial and error thing i found. ive gone from as tight as possible to as loose as possible. when u set it right ull know cuz its just amazing.

there are different "settings" with the damper and if u take it appart u can kinda get an idea how to get to that sweet spot. its hard to explain but if u make it out to one of the meets i can give u a hand (if u dont get it by then)

the damper makes the engine ALOT louder, even on the weakest setting

does it add 15hp+ to to the wheels? i kid i kid...

I'm assuming the noise is form some sort of vibration and not the actually engine running louder itself correct? Sort of like getting different engine mounts or bushings of some sort?

i thought this thread was closed.. lol ..but youll be surprise what the difference is with it attached...pickup, acceleration, upshifting, downshifting was slighly injected with steroids... added noise which is the engine spinning no longer bothers me...:thumbup:

Exactly. Motor can't move as freely, vibration is no longer isolated from the frame.

I have the TRD motor mounts on my car, you can definitely hear and feel that.
