At 7+psi, I'm seeing a lot of movement on the exhaust that wasn't there at 5psi. It's not a factor during regular driving, freeway, even spirited take-off's from a stop light. It does come up when you are drifting it sideways on wide tyres at higher RPM's, or if you are doing a heavy launch.

Does it make engine mounts absolutely necessary at 7~8psi? Probably not, depending on your driving style. At 10~14psi? Yeah, I'd say they are necessary. However, they are both relatively cheap, and relatively easy to put in, so of all the modifications, this is one that I find easy to recommend.
