Stillen Engine Dampener: Install and Review

Cool thanks. I looked at where it was being installed today and I need to get some tools.

I installed mine when I installed the AAM spacer and reinstalled the strut bar. Both Dampeners are most likely manufactured in CHINA, maybe at the same plant 
...I've seen crazier stuff over there when visiting for work.
Bottom line, the engine moves a LOT less when properly installed and shifting has become extremely precise. No extra vibrating in my particular case. Not bad for $49 to my door.

When I mounted that EBAY TD, I did it in hast without thinking... it's deluboyz or something torque damper. He is literally sourcing a direct copy of the Stillen one now
Anyway, when I first picked this up it just had two steel plates in the kit, so I did what I could. That picture depicts an INCORRECT way of mounting it. It's not effective! A while back one of the guys brought this to my attention, so I re-considered things and discovered another way of mounting it. 5x more effective!
What I need to do now is talk to Hydrazine about creating a product using this mounting technique. It would clear just about everything and not put repetitive stress on ONE mounting bolt, like Stillen's TD does.
I did this because of my headers, HFCs and exhaust... I was trying to reduce repetive twisting caused by the soft engine mounts. It seems like it's decreased movement by about 50% or more. The engine will always flex some, because the TD flexes internally due to the rubber bushings.
Too be continued...

If anyone is looking for install instructions just go to Stillens website, click on the engine torque damper and to the left of the part number there will be a little wrench which are the install instructions from stillen.
p.s. the sidenote says these will not work for 2007 Z's, I dont know how true this is.
