| The final price is still to be determined, but I can guarantee the ES mount, exhaust hanger bracket, and crossmember kit will be less than $200.
BlackholeZ - additional clearance wasn't a primary concern, but no original clearance is lost either.
EVILTWINZ - I hope to have these available by the end of May. Polish - If you're running a stock chassis mount shifter, I don't think you'll see much effect to shifting. However, if you have a transmission mounted shifter like the ZSpeed type, this should reduce the amount of feedback transferred to your hand from transmission movement. Svt_troy - I couldn't say it any better than BlackholeZ's reply. RedHawk (CO) - there is no weight difference. My crossmember is 0.6 lbs heavier than stock, but the ES mount is lighter by the same amount. Boosted1 - Yes, more than likely the 40P automatic mount is stiffer to deal with the heavier weight of the auto transmission. And yes, this data was used to design the static height of the assembly. Not4resaleZ - I would say almost every production car is designed to reduce NVH as much as possible to reduce customer complaints. The engine and transmission mounts designed to achieve this are not exactly optimum for performance applications where the engine may produce 2 or 3X more power than stock, which equals more load on the mount, and the graph shows what happens when the load is increased... a lot of movement. In addition, the OE mounts rely upon the tensile strength of the rubber and its bond to the steel shell and we all know how much they sag over time. The ES mount has a built-in mechanical stop encased in polyurethane to contain excessive movement... basically the ES mount does not rely upon the poly's tensile or bond strength and will not sag anywhere near as much as a stock mount.
