Hollywood,
I missed our USPS drop today so your order is going in the night drop box on my way home in about 10mins. I was wanting to get it out this afternoon but we were side tracked with some engine shipments that showed up a bit earlier then scheduled. Thank you for your order and support! Let us know what you think after you have it installed! Jon |

Just wanted to chime in since I finally got around to install. It's a bit more noisy BUT the pros outweigh the cons big time. No more slop and grind shifting into second and third. As soon as I shift just feels a lot better and like the car just wants to get up and go.
Such a great addition especially for the price. Wish I had done this sooner!! Thanks forcedfab! You have a loyal customer in the future if I need anything else! |

Just installed mine.
If it wasn't for my midpipe with its helmholtz resonator cockblocking all the bolts, it is a VERY easy install. Once I dropped my midpipe its simply a matter of unbolting 8 14mm bolts, 4 of which hold the mount to the body, and 4 of which hold the mount to the transmission. I used a standard jack to hold the transmission up while I unbolted everything. Once the piece is off the car it takes 2 minutes to unbolt the old piece and install the new one. Very easy, going for a test drive later but when I started my car I did not notice any increase in vibration/noise (possibly drowned out due to exhaust system). Will post back later with driving impressions as I have a 2 hour drive ahead of me now

Was going to buy one of these based off the comments, but probably never would have thought to make sure I installed it before the exhaust. Now that I know that, I'll be for sure buying it now and doing it when I do the exhaust install (I don't own my car yet, but have a large pile of mods waiting for it to arrive in a couple weeks). |

Back from my drive, slight gear lash noise at very low RPM and when letting out the clutch, and its definitely more firm than stock. I only get increased vibration at very high RPM and its not really THAT noticeable.
Very livable, don't be alarmed at the low speed noise transmitted... and at cruise you can barely hear/feel it at all. Its not annoying at all. Its a steal at 25 bucks IMO.

I totally missed the coupon code thing until right after I ordered. I wasn't going to bother asking for you to apply it after the fact, and just chalked it up to my own fault for not paying more attention. The fact that you'll voluntarily give me a refund is fucking awesome. My mod budget is maxxed out right now, with a few grand lying in the garage waiting for me to go pick it up in Colorado in 2 weeks. But when it gets replenished, you'll be the first place I go to. That sort of consideration for your customer has to be rewarded. |

I couldn't in good conscience not mention it when its the original post in this thread. To me its better to let you know of the deal we have going then to keep your money. I admire businesses that look out for me when i do business with them. Its always been my view that I should be the business that looks out for our customers. The best customers are repeat customers!
