Question Why is everyone selling their Ingalls Torque Brace?

Why is everyone selling their Ingalls Torque Brace?
I have seen at least 5 of them for sale just this week alone.
I'm just curious as to why! Thanks.

cuz the more powerful the car becomes the more of a chance it has to bend.
i know of a few people that have bent them already.

I installed mine last week. It's beefier than what is shown in the how-to. There's more metal behind the mounting holes for the dampner.
If you don't properly adjust the dampner length(total length) the brackets will bend.

Ingalls should weld on some triangulated supports for the taller bracket. This would eliminate some of the lateral movement of the brackets.

They say it only bends if you dont adjust the brace correctly. It does create a little cabin vibration and maybe people dont like that.

poly motor mount is what i have, along with the control arm bushings, this imo is a much better setup and the vibes of the motor mount are not that bad at all.

love my Ingalls TD

I installed the Ingalls torque dampner recently, I was looking for a solution to my wheel hop issues.
Well the wheel hop is 100% gone and I am very happy w/ the product. I have not noticed any increased vibrations. I have only the GMPP honed exh. manifold and am getting the GMPP performance exhaust this week. I went to a 21 turn road course yesterday and it performed well coming out of 70mph+ corners and has not bent as of yet.

I agree w/ what distillion says " cuz the more powerful the car becomes the more of a chance it has to bend".

So, the Ingall's might only be an initial solution.

I can definately see it bending with TRACTION and a hard launch. Ingalls could make the brackets a bit better............

It does work and the vibes are minimal.

One things for sure!!..............IT LOOKS GOOD, UNDER THE HOOD!!!









I've gone with poly mounts on other projects, They work great but I'm driving 100 miles/day and I guess I'm too old to deal with the vibes anymore.........

There's not alot of guys selling them, just a few. There are still many of us using it and I for 1 see no reason to get rid of mine. The more ways to combat wheel hop the better I say.

I had the CAB's and tranny mount and was still getting a bit of hop. Put the TD on and voila, gone. Worked for me.

I would recommend doing the mounts and CAB's first. TTR is coming out with the 2 press in bushings soon. A very good deal.

All the bushings can be done at the same time...just cause the car is up on the hoist.
