it's pretty straight forward man. try to stick the inserts into your motor mount. what doesn't fit, cut till it does.

these would make it worse...so i don't know lol. I think i got it in...The insert is sticking out about a 1/4". I cut away and I really can't find anything blocking it all. So I guess its in...

Now I'm at the lower one. I'm trying to find out how to get the wells off.

Everyone says that its easy but man...my CAI was WAAAY easier than this. This is such a pain. Cutting that freaking rubber sucked so bad.

all done

I gotta say...that took me like 2 hours haha. First I wasn't sure if my upper one was in all the way...I guess it hanging out is fine. The second one I just sat and looked at the well. I didn't want to figure out how to get it off haha. I did though and with some serious jerking and position...i broke that thing loose and that went on easy with the experience of the first. I didn't do any cutting on the lower and probably didn't need it on the upper one. Started the car up and its good! Engine doesn't move at all at 6,000rpm. I only I was only in the car to start it and idle. Idle felt the same but the start was pretty sweet feeling. I had my brother rev is so i could see the engine.

Overall...Pain to install first time. The second time I think I could do it in 30 minutes. The upper one is incredibly easy. Jack it up, unscrew a bolt, and put it in, tightened the bolt...easy easy easy. Bottom is gay lol

I just took it out for a drive . The wheel hop is almost gone completely. When I shift the steering wheel almost doesn't move at all and the nose of the car stays down. The changes people said would happen are definitely there. there were some other things I noticed though. My power seems more consistent up to about 5900rpm. Come out of shifts its almost like I wasn't shifting. There is no power delay with it at all anymore. As soon as the clutch is in I have full power. It didn't used to be that way. However when I hit 6000rpm I really really feel the power drop. My engine was just winding and the HP felt like it just fell off. Thats ok though, it is way better for $30.
