Ok, I couldn't wait till the weekend.
All I can say is WOW, what a difference those bushings make.
Easy to change too. Here's a tip for anyone thinking about swapping out the bushings: Remove the metal sleeve from the new bushings before trying to squeeze them into the metal mount. They'll slide right in like that.
However, putting the mount back into the car was a bit of a PITA. Mostly because I was working under ramps only, and the limited space made it difficult to get leverage.
Overall though, the install went great, and damn what a difference, even without the extra power you can feel the difference. Even better, it got rid of ALL the extra noises/vibrations I was complaining about earlier. I mean everything!
Whats left:
Bringing the intake piping tonight to get bead rolled.
Change fuel filter on the weekend.
Clean/coat the Prochargers K&N air filter.
Question for anyone reading this, I'm going with a step colder spark plug as recommended by most people at FF.com, anyone doing that here?
What did you gap the plugs to?
