Looks like it replaces the stock solid beams in the engine bay with a damper-type mechanism. Seems like it will dampen frame flexing, as opposed to making the area stiffer.

Oh neat... I wonder how much of a benefit that is??

I do quite like the TRD parts catalog translation, giving us gems like,
"Improves riding comfort and rigidity feeling. Also it has a sense of existence in the engine room."

That sounds like a direct translation from the Japanese catalog.

I'm sure this does something, but whether it does enough to be worth the increase in price over the OEM bars or nifty colorful FT-86SF bars is another question. The strut tower would have to be moving independently of the firewall for this to even have something to dampen.

If I am reading this right the "sense of existence" ends in entropy and that is not where you want to go with your car!
