I am thinking about buying those ZZP Engine Mounts they say they do the same thing as the ETD.

I'm sure that if Ingalls has a decent engineering department (which they do from all the indications I have seen), detailed FEA (Finite Element Analysis) has been preformed on these components and there is a more than adequate factor of safety built into them. i.e. if they say they are rated for 300HP max, you could probably get away with 350 to 400 minimum before catastrophic failure of the components. So, to summarize, the odds are greatly in favor of operator error during installation and setup, not due to a flawed product. Not saying that it doesn't happen, but the odds are against it for any properly engineered product. 
rob doesn't work for ingalls nor does he endorse their product lines anymore..
please refrain from sending me emails to my personal email address..

Mine hasn't let me down either. That's because I installed it correctly. 
Bent ETD's are from people who don't install them correctly.
Mine needed a little adjustment straight out of the box.
So it sounds like people are taking them out of the box and bolting them right up.
There are pics of a properly installed Ingalls in my garage. It's supposed to sit straight and flush.

Good news Ingalls bracket is Heat treated steel so, the Ingalls bracket would have been just as good. All and all I am glad you got it taken care of. For anyone else who might encounter bent brackets please contact grant@ingallseng.com so Ingalls can fix or address the issue

Its all about paying close attention to the Install. If you follow steps and take you time all works perfect. Its just like anyother aftermarket part. If you dont install it right dont think its going to work right.

Crap mine is now making a weird noise.
nothing is bent and the install looks nice and straight still, I think something inside the "tube" is broken.
I have been lazy and have not taken it apart yet, but movements that make the motor rock make a sound similar to taking a threaded rod and sliding it and out of a hole, almost like a sawing noise.
I can tell the noise is comming form the damper because I open the hood and when I push my car forward and backwards I can hear the sound comming form inside the damper, AND I have it set on stiff mode, and the I can observe the rod traveling in and out by almost 1" total ?? weird.
My first guess is that something that attatches to the rod internal to the tube has come off and is not actuating the internal damper properly.
soon I will take it off and take it apart and see what the issue is.
But nothing is bent and I did install it properly.

Dave if you would like send an email to grant@ingallseng.com and Ingalls would gladly look at your unit. If the unit is damaged due to normal use Ingalls will replace or repair it free of charge. One quick question is it cold where you are?

Mines installed correctly and it's been making noise ever since it's been cold out. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I just think its making noises like a freezing cold dampner being depressed. It goes away after driving a few miles, just makes noise everytime I give/let off the gas or clutch until then. Basically, if you make the engine move, it's gonna bitch until it warms up...
