Has the info you need. Good to street usage, but not that great at the track. GL with install, should be easy.

Why wouldn't the ETD be good at the track? Aside from the fact you should have upgraded mounts to begin with?

Coming from experience, you'll still get wheel hop at the track. But on the street, the ETD works pretty good. It's all pros and cons, if you have the ETD and the mounts, you'll get too much vibration which sometime can be annoying.

I've never seen that product, its exactly what I need for my auto. It seems that my mounts soften up over time and even though they're not broken there's a lot of engine movement when taking off.

Anyone know if this is offered with the 6mt bracket or if ill have to order it myself?

It's mounted on the rear of the engine on the transmission side. There's a DIY on the forums.

I'm going to order it, I was just wondering since I have the auto and I need the manual bracket, would I need to order this bracket separately or is there a "kit" for the autos that include this bracket?

better option for the 5AT, i tried the M/T bracket, but my 04 5AT was missing a hole needed to bolt up the bracket

Really? The great and wise IHC hasn't ever considered putting on the ETD?

Doit! I think you'll like it.

You would need to buy the bracket from Acura if you have an Auto trans.
