As a cabby owner what do you think of the NVH level of them Frank?

I like them just fine, and yes, there's a slight increase of NVH but by no means to a level that will annoyed you., specially on a cabrio.

Drive train feels very solid during hard acceleration, specially if topped off with a urethane differential bushing.

Worn oem eng mounts looked fine when removed, trani ones were pretty soft and bathed on oil/fluid., 3rd gear would pop-out during hard cornering., it's not an issue any more.

wonderful internet hearsay

IE motor mounts are great, the tranny ones are a bit fuhraze and made my car sound like it was a fully stripped race car with a prepped v10 in the front.

I think that was your Mugen exhaust you clamped on... :roll:

IE Tranny and motor mounts are excellent... haven't personally experienced BF's upgraded mounts but I have no complaints at ALL about my IE tranny mounts... I think they actually made my shifts smoother and give me more jump when I accelerate hard through the gears...

and to further testify to the motor mounts I went through 3 sets of stock mounts in 6 months after putting aftermarket springs/shocks on my car before I went to urethane motor mounts...
