Default BMR Xtreme Duty TA + 12bolt

Thinking about doing this TA, but when I did a search I didnt find anything on the noise. Should I just go with an adjustable trans mounted TA or get this? My main concern is road noise. BMR warns of this on their web site.
Is it substantially louder? I dont see what would make this more noisey?

Is the trac pak that much better or what? Big power is going behind this but it is a daily driver. I need to know if it is worth it.

It says increased road noise because of the bushings. Looks like poly on the body mount and rod ends on the rear. Your car will seem a little more "clunky" is the best way i can describe it. Going over manhole covers and drunk bumps will be audible.

I have rod ended lca's and am not disappointed at all. I am going to do rod ends on all my suspension. I guess it's all about what you can handle.

I have this setup and it is prone to thunps over large bumps and potholes. Nothing I can't live with. 99% of the time you will not know it's there.
