What do you think of it? In particular, how detrimental is it to NVH felt in the cabin?

I've had mine for almost 2 years now. It does wonders for wheel hop, however, you really do feel the motor vibrate a lot more in the cabin. Worth it, IMO...

I did feel the vibration a little more with the front inserts, but its not that bad...And its nice to be able to shift the car without looking like a 16 year old learning to drive...

J-Lab, maybe its those mystery cats and solid udp that account for the increased vibration... wink

I hear filling the rear mount with urethane increases the vibration ALOT. Your best bet is the SVT mount in the rear.

Got it. Noticed a bit more vibration thru the wheel, but after a while you won't really even notice that anymore.
Mangler has the right idea- replace your rear motor mount w/the SVT version as well. You can get the rear mount from Bill Jenkins for a reasonable amount of $$ and the Energy Susp. front insert from just about anywhere. HTH

I'd suggest installing it properly then. :p

I noticed the herky/jerky shifting gone and a litle improvement to initial driveline wind up.
