Monster Motorworks Header and Engine Damper arrive!

Wow... Monster Motorworks sure makes a nice looking header! Great quality welds, beautiful stainless steel and has the provisions to utilize the stock heat-shield to keep engine bay temps in check (too bad it covers up this piece of art) :(



I also received this "engine damper" to minimize the engine's movement on the on the soft / stock engine mounts whenever you touch the gas... This should increase throttle response and improve the feel of the accelerator, leading to less wheel spin and more control / precision. In actuality, it's not really a "damper" at all... but a steel rod and polyurethane sleeve with a derlin spacer at the end, to make it completely solid, in effect. This makes it a solid rod with spherical ends that I can also pre-load for a competition to get 100% of that torque down to the ground. I believe the poly will absorb the high frequencies and eliminate some unneccessary vibration / noise into the cabin and to the driver.

On a side note - several years back, Weapon-R (which is the North American parent brand of Monster Motorworks) had a reputation for inexpensive aftermarket parts and sometimes of questionable quality. I can tell you 100% that they have improved to the point where I'd definately call their stuff premium! The welds are great, the materials are top-notch and they seem really well engineered! I'll be sure to review them in detail once installed and comment on both fit and performance. Great looking stuff! Good job guys!
