I didn't even see 1999 #45's post until after I wrote mine. I was just looking around and noticed it on SP's site. [/b]SP is listing BAT's product. BAT has zero on hand. While Terry has them on-hand and is a CEG member and an "un-official" technical advisor to this site as well... So Support someone who supports you (us) or ... Easy call in my book...

Alright Terry,
I've made up my mind I want to get the DMD from you but I have no idea what PM is - someone earlier told me to PM you. So, how do I get you the money?
I have a few questions first:
1. I used to have a 99 SE V6 and my 99 SVT vibrates a whole lot more when I take it past 3000 RPM - is there a chance that the engine is already at a point that it's better not to touch it at all? (sort of like turbos should go on a well running engine)
2. I have $500 to spend (incl Labor). The DMD is first. Then the waterpump from SP, then... what do you recommend? right now my car is 100% stock and I don't want to put in KKM (had it before and hated the heat soak in the summer).
Thanks Terry, Alex

Thanks Terry, Alex The Dual mode dampener should smooth out the feel of the car aboue 3000 RPM's. That is the whole point of it. It absorbes more vibration from the crank than the stocker. The installation charge should be for no more than a half hour of work. The water pump is about a two hour job or less so don't pay for more than two hours of labor! You should spend a lot less than 500 for the installation and purchase of those two items. Hell a fellow CEGer could do them in a couple hours if they have done them before! After that I would say replace the stock resonator with anything but a straight pipe! -Andy

It's been a week now with the DMD and I still have a grin on my face. SMOOOOTH. Much more peace of mind while spending time in the upper RPMs. I find myself revving the engine out more now. If there was a "must have" mod, this would be it in my opinion and for the price it can't be beat. Buy one. Buy one from Terry. Buy one from Terry for a friend with a Duratec.
To me, the DMD allowed me to knock off one of the slightly rough edges that is on my SVT.

Buy one. Buy one from Terry. Buy one from Terry for a friend with a Duratec. Maybe we need a bumper sticker that says "Friends do not let friends drive without a DMD" I am interested to here many of you comment on roughness before the DMD. I always considered it smooth. True, I can perhaps detect a slight smoothing effect with the DMD above 6K but it is subtle. Leads me to believe some Duratecs were/are rougher than others?
