Default What is your opinion on Torque Dampers ??

HI Guys,

I was thinking of getting a torque damper. Just wanted to knw what your opinions are on it ? i have heard of interior rattling issues due to the vibrations getting transferred to the firewall etc. Has anyone here got it installed on their Z ?


Thanks

no difference really. its a tad bit harsher idle (due to less engine movement) but i only noticed because i was looking for it. other than that, its mostly cosmetic.

Idle is a bit louder with more vibrations. I think it helps especially if you launch hard.
