not really. the stock manifold is probably more restrictive than the stock downpipe, so i would do that first if you're trying to decide. but really it's not going to matter which way you do it.

The Ingalls Engine Torque Damper fits both SS and SS/SC models easily. It really helps with shifting and overall movement of the car. It feels stiffer and more precise, and takes away from wheel hop. Depending on how much power you have, it might not take allwheel hop away, but it does help by holding the engine still. I love mine, it is definitely worth $145.
P.S. the install takes literally 5 minutes (the instructions they send are good enough). Make sure the brace is set correctly, then remove the two bolts specified (not the center 3rd bolt or the engine will drop), place the metal bracket, re-bolt. Next do the same with the other side of the engine mount (comes with instructions), but there are only two nuts to take off. Place the bracket, re-bolt. Then put the torque brace in place as per instructions and you're done.
