What does that do? Less vibration or something?

It reduces movement of the transmission during acceleration and deceleration, and gives you a more solid feel. The OEM mount is really designed to reduce as much NVH as possible from the cabin. Its just like the diff bushings, they are soft and mushy, and allow tons of movement with the powertrain.

I'm probably going to buy Z1 urethane engine mounts and diff bushings next.

How much extra cabin noise is there? I'd like to do this upgrade, but wanted to know how noisy it gets over stock? Especially if you add a lightweight flywheel to the mix.

Honestly, I haven't noticed any increase in noise or anything. I also have a lightweight flywheel.

I looked at the car in the garage and noticed how dirty it was and thought I might wash it. I ended up back inside sitting next to the warm fireplace. That is so much better than frozen fingers. I am so anxious for spring to get here so I can go for a drive.

I have terrible roads in my area and really looking to do this soon, how much quieter do you think the change was?
