Measured my angles, 3.4 in the front and about 3.1 at the diff. One way I think this can be reduced is with the STI engine mounts (perhaps others too). They're used by ppl that has ACE350 headers to raise the engine slightly to clear the big ACE overpipe from subframe. Raising the engine and keeping the pivot point of the trans mount the same would reduce both angles slightly since the tail bushing would now be pointed slightly downward and also start lower in height (reducing the height difference between it and the diff). I guess here a softer trans mount that is more compressible could help (at least statically) since the pivot point would be lowered slightly
