Exclamation Godspeed Engine Damper Install Help

Does anyone have one of these? Do you have the instructions or at least some photos of how it is installed? Can't find anything online. Thanks in advance...

I love you guise. Thank you! I'm installing this because I keep having exhaust cracking problems after my Berk TP install. Hopefully this fixes it for good as I have had this thing welded up about 5 times.

Damn, how the hell do you access those lower bolts? Also, there is no mention of the bronze bracket on the left in the manual? It also seems like the bracket on min is different and there is only one threaded hole on the timing chain cover or block to bolt to. The instructions are for an 07-08 because it tells you to remove the passenger side airbox. I'm lost.

Here's some pictures from another site that look like your kit.





This one shows the rerouted ground wire, so apparently you need to remove one to install the kit.

I'm in the middle of the install as we speak. Super easy so far. Three Allen wrenches, 10mm and 12mm socket, 12" extentsion, and an adjustable wrench. Thanks for the pix!

Install was pretty easy. Not sure why people have so much trouble. the acceleration feels more "linear" than before. I havent had a chance to see if the engine is more stable yet, but hopefully my exhaust is good to go now..

Nice on the install. I would suggest solid motor mounts as well if you continue to have a problem. The harshness is not that bad at all. Also, you can install while the motor is still in the car so it's not too bad!
