The front motor mount helps to limit engine torque movement and wheel hop during hard acceleration. It also improves shift feel and precision with a MT by reducing movement within the shift linkage. The trade-off is increased vibration felt in the cabin which is at it's worst with a AT being held back with the brakes. I can't recommend the 95A bushings for anything short of racing but the softer 70A bushings would make a noticeable improvement for any MT car without adding much vibration. The MM doesn't add as much benefit for an AT car but adds a lot more cabin vibration which is why I'm selling it.
If all you need is the S-pipe, you can get it from ebay for $100. Note that it only bolts up to the CXR scuba-delete mid-pipe though. For $200 you could have a full 3" exhaust in 304 SS with a polished muffler and 4" tip.

Are you AT or MT? If MT you would probably like the GGP MM. It improves shifting, reduces wheel hop and doesn't add much vibration with the softer inserts. If you're AT, it adds quite a bit of vibration when stopped in gear with the AC on. Too much for me to live with.
For the s-pipe, find a good custom exhaust shop and have one made. I could have had a complete mandrel bent custom exhaust made in 2.5" or 3" for $500-600 but by doing it piece meal it cost me about $1000. Live and learn.

Total cost would be $200 for a complete 3" CXR exhaust or less if you use your WR s-pipe. Any decent exhaust shop can weld a new flange on to mate your WR s-pipe to the CXR pipe.

The CXR 3" is by far the deepest sounding exhaust I'ver ever heard on a 2AZ-FE. However, it is also super loud and there is plenty of drone. The solution is to add a long 6" round resonator where the "scuba" was. I did this (7" but a little too big) and it sounded great but still a little too loud for this 48 yo. That's why I went 2.5" and TRD axle-back. I'd describe the current sound as being not as deep as the CXR but only as loud as a factory performance car.
