Front motor mount vs weapon r engine damper??

I have a blox front motor mount, and love it for the most part, I had an ams one on my last evo, and loved that to.

With my new car, and now I do a lot more highway driving, so above 3,200 rpm its pretty loud cruising 15miles at a time.

my question is does the torque damper do the same thing?? and does it transmit the same amount of vibrations???


If I didnt do so much freeway driving, I would have no problem with the front motor mount

thanks for any help

it doesnt really answer your question but I personally would not put any weapon R product on an evo.

I have the blox front motor mount in my evo and the vibrations are no problem for me. Its hardly noticeable to be quite honest. But yes, most of the "vibration/noise" is pretty much just in 1st gear. If you want to get rid of that, id just swap back to stock mount. All mounts are gonna add some noise

I just put the Blox front mount on my IX and love it. I also have an engine damper. To be honest I think the Engine damper was a waste. It made it very very very small difference. I honestly think an engine damper is a waste from experience. I would stick with the blox front motor mount brother.
