It's more work to make the Stiffy quiet than it is to just get the motor mounts. I got more noise from my Stiffy even when I had tons of o-rings, plastic washers, dynamat all over the mounts, etc etc. The motor mounts don't make any noise and only cause the steering wheel to vibrate a tad at idle, thats it.

The Purple is the Powerflex and it's not going to wear out.

I have the stiffy in the car now, it rattles and is very annoying. I have a AMS front mount ready to go in. The damper is coming out!!

Motor mount...do the front and sides if you can, but do not do the rear one. That's the one that will cause all hell to vibrate.

I had Warrtalon tell me that if I just got the dampner then it would wear out faster and not do as good if I put the motor mounts in and then put the Dampner in. So that's what I did. I put the motor mounts in and now my kidneys are where *** is.

this blox bushing is having massive reviews and reported as massively improving shifts with much less vibration than the top engine damper types.
some peeps even removing the top dampers and converting to these its so good!!!!!
