Default Aftermarket dampener noticeably smoother?

Curious if there is a significant smoothness feel with the aftermarket dampeners (in addition to the benefits that you can’t feel). I’m running a BE oil pump but also thinking about adding an aftermarket dampener since my oem is so damn old and the comp rubber motor mounts are pretty visceral when approaching redline.

hard to say for sure, but my built 1.8 with a superdamper and AWR mounts are pretty reasonable in terms of NVH in the car, more at idle but arguably less through the rev range. Be baller and order one, youre just here looking for confirmation to do so

SO HERE IS MY ENCOURAGEMENT

DO IT......DOOOOOO ITTTTTTTTTT
