yeah there's more vibration in the cabin, but totally worth it. there's no reason why it won't last forever, its billet with a 90A insert.

engine sounds different, better throttle response, shifting is much nicer. it feels like a whole new car

i can attest to the engine mount changing the way my car sounded, the exhaust sounded deeper, no lie. Throttle response is also a tad bit better due to less engine movement during acceleration. for $70 you really cant go wrong, install takes all of 30minutes. If you don't like it, sell it back for $10-15 less so why not try it.

lol you guys are funny, there is no way that throttle response is changed with mounts, engine vibration will change but that will not alter how the exhaust sounds

Do some research Then try telling the hundreds of people who have said there car sounds different in the reviews for this product threads that is does not.

This is because the vibrations are now transferred to the chassis instead of vibrating on the engine and transmission. When all the moving parts are placed in an improved steady position, the engine noise will also be different.

A few reviews for reference:

1rst off starting the car the sound is way different. Car sounds quite a bit different
I noticed a much different engine startup noise from inside the cabin.
I wasn't expecting it but throttle response has also improved. I read that it would but I took it with a grain of salt. Another perk is that the engine also sounds better at full throttle. It sounds...more crisp...?
The engine sounds more tuned....it's hard to describe, but it sounds better.
I agree with all who described a different tone from the engine. It sounds great under load and I agree it is a more "tuned" sound.
