did you have it tightened? stock from the box it didn't do anything. i tightened it 2 milimeters and made a big difference. if i really get on it there's still some wheel hop, but the way i drive i don't get any now. the tires will actually just spin, then hook up. i'm sure if i tightened it another mili or 2 it would be even better.

Hey guys I'm about to buy this torque dampener for 110 bucks but I'm hearing mixed thing about them yes I know it will fit on my car........ that's not what I'm asking....... will it really help stop the wheel hop? That's my big problem at the track... I lowered my car and I hoped that might of helped a little. But I figured for 110 why not.. Or should I take the money and spend it else where. Get back asap as I'm soposeto be buying it today thanks chris

if you have aftermarket i think it's ok. the stock airbox would DEF> be in the way though. but don't quote me on that. as far as on the 2.2, i doubt you would even need the td. i never once had wheelhop even after intake and full exhaust. was able to spin the tires, but never had wheelhop.

nooooo AND YES......... not an 05 and not all 06 but the 06 and i believe the 07 with the same engine mount as the ljs then it will........... but ONLY with the injen CAI not SRI 
i guess i got lucky with the lsj motor mount and didnt even know about it when i nput my intake in..... then a year later i find out the TD will work!
