Also curious on the NVH
Get creative with the catch can mounting. I have bfi stage 2 mounts and just flipped the mounting arm on my catch can to use one of the headlight bolts instead of the motor mount.I just don’t think these mounts would work for people like myself with catch cans that mount to the engine mount. Hmmm.
I wonder how NVH stage-1 mounts are almost same as stock ( said 3~4%) and how not noticeable? ......Poly is poly.
Hyde reviewed BFI tranny mount to increase NVH, so he moved to 034 mounts once.
Did anyone install and compare different mounts like BSH vs VF vs ECS(spam) vs Torque solution vs BFI? Each mounts are different durometer, BSH-85A, TS-75A, BFI-70A....

Ehhh, I’d prefer not nig rigging key components like that. We’ll see when we get there. I’m sure I can find a longer bolt to switch instead of using the provided with the mount.
IIRC, Hyde had BFI stg-1 engine mount first and it's OK w/ NVH and later added tranny mount, but He replaced to 034 rubber mounts shortly due to NVH.Hyde had mixed match mounts. He did not use a full set until he went 034. 70a is the reason, you are thinking that all mounts are the same density. But as you increase from say 70 up to a track mount of 85 there is a big jump in NVH.

I knew all mounts are different durometer, so I wonder how much NVH is different b/w 70A and 75A? and everyone has different sensitive.
Anyone has installed one to another? and comments?
Yea he did the trans mount but never all three like this set is. I think you have to balance the three mounts together to get an honest opinion of the set.
I would also be interested in see if anyone have had multiple mounts.
So speaking from my current setup I am just really happy with what they add to how the car feels and drives.

BFI engine mount with stock tranny mount
Moved to BFI engine mount with BFI trans mount, way too much NVH
Moved to 034 engine and 034 trans mount, never looked back
All combos above were used with the HPA 75 puck, TyrolSport subframe kit and stock dogbone
Now I run the VWR subframe kit, TyrolSport subframe kit and APR doggone with spherical bearings pressed out and SuperPro bushings pushed in.
