The Weapon R torque dampener (or the Ingalls) is a way of preventing the motor from moving too much. A motor that moves around in the engine bay is putting less power to the ground. A damper is easier and cheaper than swapping out motor mounts. The noise everyone is talking about occurs because the motoris now directly fastened to the chassis. Much more NVH is transmitted to the cabin. The same type of thing happens when you put stiff motor mounts on a car.
