I have one on my hatch, over all I like it, but....

Greatly improved off-the-line acceleration - greatly, no. a little maybe.
Reduced wheel hop - not that I noticed.
Improved vehicle stability - accel to decel and vice versa is quicker, other than that no.
Reduced shock loads on driveline components - probibly
Smoother shifting - not really smoother, more accurate yes.
Reduced wear on exhaust system joints - logically yes.
Less vibration transmission to the driver compared to polyurethane motor mounts. - yes.
Less shock load, compared to torque straps and chains. - logically yes.
Drifting – helps reduce shock loads when wheels gain traction. - logically yes.
Reduces motor movement – decreases the chance of motor parts rubbing against the hood and frame. - logically yes.

To me it's a nice little improvement if you don't want poly motor mount inserts and have a little rub from the header on your lower strut bar (like I did) or if you want some bling factor. if not spend your money somewhere else.
