I have the TRD intake and the Tsudo exhaust as well, had a noise like that than relized it was my house keys and my change in my cup holders rattleing, I just got the damper and will fix it tomorrow cause i did not install it 100% right, will fix tomorrow. its may help than it just may add a little noise,depends.

Just wondering can the weapon r Damper adjust for soft to firm? I just installed mine today, and while I know it transfers some vibration, I'm getting strong vibration in reverse, and sometimes when first taking off from a dead stop, but just for a sec. Is there an adjustment for this?

FYI I'm driving an 08 xB with auto trans. If that's the way it's supposed to be, I may have to take it off.

turbo diesel is a very good way to put it.. my dad just bought a F250 V8 turbodiesel with straight pipes from the turbo back and it sounds a lot like that....

i noticed that the sound only came from about 5-15 and vice versa when slowing.. it works fantastically but as my friend puts it: "race use only". but i gotta admit it looks hella sexy!! i think i might get some red NST alternator pulley to compliment the damper

Dampers in general on auto's will transfer a lot more Vibration into the drivers compartment than a Manual transmission. Also depends on how stiff you make the damper. Even on mine i lie to preload the motor quite a bit.

Thanks mike for the Pictures.
