Hi.
Does the poly mount offer a significant advantage over a flipped stocker? I flipped mine and didn't notice any difference. Just curious if it would be worth it. I've heard they cause some vibration, but I've had them in other cars with no problems.

I am VERY surprised. flipping mine took a lot of slack out of the take up on acceleration. I did noticed more vibration afterward though. A poly mount would stiffen it up more, but at the cost of more vibration.

I want the manual, provided it's in decent shape...if not already spoken for. PM Sent.
Regarding the poly mount, the vibration varies directly with ambient temp. If it's hotter where you are (i.e. Mel in N.O.), it will be softer and cause less vibration. If you're in a northern, colder climate, it will vibrate pretty badly (in the colder months...fine in spring/summer).

AFAIK, the LS4 engine cover is universal. Only difference b/t 2006 and 2007+ covers is that it said Displacement on Demand in '05-06, and Active Fuel Management in 2007+.
