I had the same banging issue with my o2 ss w/ QTP headers and QTP catted y pipe. I bought that mufflex bumpstop and it did nothing for my problem. So i tryied a few other things. found that when i took some old valve springs from when i did my cam and valvetrain swap, took a lot of time figuring out where it was hitting my floorboard then just tack welded the valve spring on the top of my merge collector wedged the spring in between the floor board and exhaust, so far problem solved for now . Hopefully it will continue to work. best of all it didnt cost me anything. hope this helps.

You don't make me feel any better, when you say "the bump stop did little to help." Mines on order, lol.

*New* mounts won't increase the noise and vibration, but polyurethane ones will. The polyurethane is way stiffer than the stock rubber, so it transmits vibration and noise more readily than the rubber and damps out less of the noise.

The polyurethane really isn't that bad. If you're really picky, you'll notice some noise. With winows open or stereo loud (or aftermarket exhaust for that matter), you probably won't notice a thing. I say go for it.

I'm the pickiest person when it comes to my car and I honestly didn't notice any more noise/vibration when I put the poly mounts in.

Would the solid motor mounts be better than the poly's?
