Do engine dampers put more or less stress on exhaust components?

I'm going with the weapon-R because I had the Stillen prior to my JWT TT install. However, the piping of the JWT kit interferes with the Stillen engine damper. So, ever since then, I have been trying to find one that will fit. It appears the Weapon-R fits the bill (no pun intended)

I personally chose the Weapon-R damper because I've come to trust the quality of their products. Not that Stillen or any other brand are bad or anything, but I've used Weapon-R components before, and have come to trust their products. So, it's brand loyalty for me...

Stillen was more difficult than the Weapon-R, because the mounting points are lower on the engine, and the front firewall/shock tower. The space you have to work in is much smaller, and I have big fat fingers and hands. I hand to enlist my wife's help, with her smaller fingers. However, it is not incredibly more difficult.

I just put the Weapon-R on two days ago, and I had been without the Stillen damper for about 6 months, so a comparison will be difficult to do. However, I do have a track day this Friday, so after that, I will try and post some more information.

Mounting points on the Stillen are completely different. Both the Weapon-R and the Stillen could fit on the engine at the same time. Might add a bit of stiffness. Probably not worth it, though.
On a side note, mine is for my G35, and the Weapon-R engine side mount for the G35 is much nicer and the welds are much cleaner. Probably because the G is such a luxury car...
