Spoon engine torque damper

Seeing this on eBay which kinda surprises me as it's rather cheap, so I had a chance to come across the one that AJ-racing has for sale. And I think there's a different in the product.

eBay:


What you guys think?

My buddy had one of these on his RSX. While it may take away some of the vibration from the engine for increased performance, it makes your interior rattle like crazy. Whenever you accelerate from a stop it vibrates and sounds like you're gonna stall. I wouldn't do it...

And the 2nd one looks fake to me. Def. not the same thing as the one offered by AJ.

no company in their right mind would ever weld all thread to a bearing because of the hardness difference and strength loss.

usually Spoon products come wrapped in clear plastic with blue Spoon logos all over it.
