Mazda3 2004-2012: Engine
Ingalls 'Stiffy' Engine Torque Dampner :: 07-09

A self-contained elastomeric shock that mounts on brackets between the engine and the chassis. It reduces extreme engine movement and dampens the motion, providing many benefits. The STIFFY was originally intended for the sport compact market, but is currently being adapted to other performance applications.
BENEFITS:
-Greatly improved off-the-line acceleration
-Reduced wheel hop
-Improved vehicle stability
-Reduced shock loads on driveline components
-Smoother shifting
-Reduced wear on exhaust system joints
-Less vibration transmission to the driver compared to polyurethane motor mounts.
-Less shock load, compared to torque straps and chains.
-Drifting helps reduce shock loads when wheels gain traction.
-Reduces motor movement decreases the chance of motor parts rubbing against the hood and frame.
