i posted this on SL a few days ago, im just reposting it here because i know some of you avoid that place like the plague.
So, ive doing some "performance" mods to my car lately because it was lacking in that department... in my searches for torque damper info, the question i came across more then any other was, "if i put it on my auto, will i notice anything?"... YES YOU WILL! mine is an auto, and i was doing it for the show aspect of it so i didnt really car if i gained or didnt... but i did.
before the damper i would have a nice lag when ever i stomped on the gas, really sucks when trying to keep up with 13sec civics (not racing, just going to hang out.) i put in the damper and the lag is all but gone. the cabin noise is there, it is a lot louder now, i did not do any sound deadening around the mount... my normal stereo volume will block it out though, so im not too worried about it.
if you have auto and are looking to change up the complete feel of your car it is worth every penny.
right now my performance list is
WeaponR torque damper
fujita CAI
AEM bypass
Megan Racing Header
Magnaflow cat back exhaust
soon to have a megan s pipe also.
and the car is an 07 with 133xx miles on.
i only put the header on 2 days ago, it is like driving a completely new car now.
i went with weaponR because i read all the reviews that said it wouldnt do anything, i bought it off a guy on SL, never used for $100 shipped... worth every penny!
i could not burn my tires, i put on the header, and then i could, now i cant again.
as far as quality (Hawgs, what brand is yours?) it seems built well, the brackets looked nice, install was stupid easy.
ill try to post every few weeks or whenever something different happens.
after a night and about 80 miles of pretty fast/hard driving, i love this thing. between this and the header its like i have a new car.
ive got the DC sport strut bar, installed fine.
now i have to say, the cabin noise is not that bad, but i had not slept in 2 days and had to take a friend home at midnight last night. i turned on my car and almost turned it off to take my moms car, its a pretty annoying sound, but i guess you get used to it, or try the sound deadening.
also, on my way back from exposed, i was on the interstate just driving trying to get back to the front of my pack, i was doing 75, floored it, and there was no lag at the higher speed also.
i honestly am AMAZED by thing thing. it is now the product i am telling everyone to buy for their next mod. i really is worth every penny.
*** that is my three post from SL, i cut out everyone elses banter. :up:
