AFAIK the Ingalls "Stiffy" is just as good or even better than it's competitors at transferring engine vibration to the driver and passengers. I'm not sure if it works as well as the GGP solid poly front motor mount though. I had the GGP MM and it did a wonderful job of making the entire car shake, rattle and vibrate.

I did a search and luckily I said to myself, later for that product.
Have to say it looked good for awhile?

Yeah, I thought so too until I installed that GGP motor mount. IMO engine dampers and solid poly MM's are something you have to live with on highly modified or race cars but the felt vibration they cause on a DD isn't worth the "bling" factor. JMO.

Amen, thanks I posted the question before I click on the purchase,

NP. I think you'll be a lot happier spending that engine damper money on something else.

I wonder if anyone has installed one of those hard mounts or engine movement dampers and actually kept it in?
