I installed mine a week ago. As far as increased vibration, it is barely noticeable at idle and a non-issue when in motion. The main benefit I have found is a more solid shifter feel. 1st-2nd & 2nd-3rd is smoother and less "clunky".

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. I installed one of these last night and have to admit, it definitely helps smooth out shifting. I really didn't buy into that idea when I ordered it, or at least didn't think it would be as effective as it is. My intent was to limit the engine shift under torque so I could lower my strut brace a little. No issues with the brace being hit by the motor or the hood, except when I am removing wax right over it, then I get the hood to tap it. Small annoyance and not really worth the price of the ED to remedy just that, but hey. I do feel a lot better about spending for it after driving it.
As far as in cab vibe, I don't notice any difference. It may be there, but I couldn't tell. For me the install for such a simple piece was an absolute PITA. If you do this, do yourself a favor and make sure you have a 10" socket extension handy, as well as the socket/allen key adapters.

I just bought one from this guy (Triple8Sol), the one he sell is TopSpeed Pro-1engine damper, it's actually stillen replica, I would say they are the same, but a lot cheaper, can't even get this price from ebay. Just done install today, I didn't feel any additional vibration in the cabin, it definitely help shifting smoother and no more "clunky" noise, this mod definitely worth it

Please post pics of your install when you get it. I have been wondering about this mod for a long time.

I'm thinking about getting this too! Does it make a difference that I have an auto? Should I still be able to notice a difference?
Stillen says it helps to prevent losing power due to the engine movement no longer being present. Anyone notice a power difference?
