Weapon R engine damper



A great part at a great price. At my power level the motor mounts are crap. Shifting was terrible at high rpms. This thing is great. Night and day difference. Every evo should have one.

We have this on our car, but didn't notice a difference. We have always had trouble shifting. We now think it could be the motor mounts.

With my 415 whp the motor mounts are shot i can only imagine what your power will do to them. I still can't imagine it not making a difference for you. It is very noticeable on my car.

i have one, but i paid 114. it works o.k., but i had to add plastic washers to keep the noise down. there is a better one out there though and yes it was recalled a while back.
