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.
