got a ton of vibration in the cabin from installing the two side mounts (not the rear one yet). But, then again, when I ordered my Prothane mounts, the driver's side mount only came with 2 "race" inserts, so thats what I have now. I already took the car apart and put felt everywhere, but I'm gonna go and take it apart again to put foam everywhere. The rattles were killing me!

You wouldn't like riding in my car. ALL of my motor mounts have an insert in them. :chuckles:

oh, don't get me wrong...I love driving the car! But, some of the rattles are places where they could be fixed easily (the glovebox, the seat belt bolts, the steering wheel). The glovebox is already almost a block of foam...but no rattles from there anymore! Most of the time, the music is up too loud to notice, but when theres someone in the car (like my gf), the music stays low and they annoy me. I just parked the car for a while and suspended the insurance, so I'm gonna tear it apart...and undertake a new tranny in my driveway. I have a bunch of bushings that need to be put on anyway, so I'll put the rear mount on when I do everything. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to put on...it looks rediculously hard to get at.

There's a Michigan DSMer who bought round aluminum stock, CNC'ed it to match, drilled a hole in the center, and installed one in every motor mount on a Talon. He claims to feel every motor tick.

I know some guys who use a polymer filler to fill all their motor mounts. Messy but cheaper and looks OEM.
