Is the Weapon R dampener worth a damn and will it work with the gmpp intake? No one seems to talk about the thing so i thought ide ask.

 

What is with the NWS? now no one at work will look at this thread LOL

 

it's NOT worth a damn. get poly or solid mounts, or fill your own. i had the damper and sold it. the filled my mounts and actually saw results.

 

lol i have no idea what the nws! meant i just picked it on a whim. Im not looking for solid mounts as this car is my DD. Im looking for better off the line w/o spending a bundle or mailing my PCM/TCM.

 

Its probally just like the Ingalls. One torque damper won't really that much from another one I'm sure. One might have better quality or something, but I doubt it b/c Weapon-R is a reputable brand too. My girlfriend is actually getting ready to buy this for her '05 Tibby V6 6-speed.

I don't think it will fit w/ your GMPP intake. I believe your heatshield on the intake will get in the way. My Ingalls works b/c I have a CAI that dosent interfere with the placement of the damper.

 

it says it goes between the engine and firewall which is vague.

 

It connects to your passenger side motor mount via a bracket. Haven't you seen pics of an engine torque damper installed on a Cobalt before? This forum is crawling with members with the Ingalls installed. I'm sure someone could get you a pic. I have the Ingalls, but I don't have any pics of it on, and my digital camera was recently stolen.

 

 

^there we go. Thats the Ingalls though, but the Weapon-R looks the same, only its a gunmetal color and says "Weapon-R". But you get the idea.

Also, keep in mind that the 2.0 SS/SC intakes are on the opposite side, so that big area the your left when looking at the pic will be filled with an intake on a 2.4SS. My Ingalls just barely clears my AEM CAI piping, and im pretty sure any short ram intake equipped with a heatshield won't fit properly.

 

SOme have had issues with the Ingalls bending. Then they switch to a SMM (solid motor mount) for example ours, Turbo Tech Racing, or the ZZP.

 

Lol way to market your products.

My Ingalls has had no issues whatsoever. Its been on since November '06 and still problem free.

 

Is it sumpin i could make fit w/o a heat sheild?or if i custom made a heat sheild? and is it worth the effort?

 

Just stating the out come some have, notice we also stated another popular choice in SMM not just ours

 

Might just have the hack up the heatshield a bit with a dremel or something.

 

Im a dremmel artist im shure i could fab up sumpin. Think i could get a photo of yours with the CAI in place so i can look to see if i have the space.
