Pulsation Dampener

After having to rebuild the inlet plumbing on our hot machine due to cracked pvc...I noticed that the whole set up (including the inlet plumbing) vibrates a good bit until the machine goes into bypass. I do have a little flexible tubing in there and upgraded a couple parts to stainless but now I'm wondering if it's worth getting a pulsation dampener. A couple questions:
1. Do they go between pump and unloader, or after unloader?
2. Who makes one rated for 3500 or 4000 psi? I found a bunch of CAT and General ones but you start getting close to $300 for decent psi and they are rated for 40+ gpm.
 
Still looking for a high psi dampener. In the meantime I decided to order a couple pulse hoses for my lower psi machines. Do I use these as a whipline between the pump and unloader...or after unloader? Or do they need to come off a tee somewhere with one end capped?
 
Pulse hose would be capped on one end.
