Scion tC Engine dampners???
I'm looking into buying an Engine Dampner for my tC and I have noticed 2 main brands, Secret Weapon's and Ingalls "Stiffy." I did read the great review of the "Stiffy" but I also would like to know if anyone has had problems with the "Stiffy"?
Any help on this would be great in making my purchase.
And YES...I said STIFFY

This is starting to sound like a Viagra commercial
Also, I plan on S/C and other goodies to hit 200-220 whp. I think the test stiffy was more horsepower then I will ever hit.

how in the heck did you break it in 3 weeks... I have had mine on there for 3 months and not a single issue. Did you break the mount or what? Weapon R has changed the mount on the tC. I have the new mount and seriously not a single issue with mine.

yea motor mounts get rid of the movement on both sides, so those are better in theory.
highlandermac has the stiffy and though it took care of A LOT of the motion from that ocean. but some still ripples from the other side of the engine.

stiffy you can do in less than 30 mintues... the motor mounts... over 1 hr and i would say about 20 times harder in my opinion. (i do consider the damper very easy)
