Its about time Ryan I cannot wait for the Kmember, but you already know that cause I bother you about it with every order we make with you guys. I know it will be a top notch piece, just like the rest of you products. Good luck on getting it finished up and on some cars .

I read your FAQs and they do not address increased noise. Does the mount transmit suspension noise into the car?

Nice. I was hoping for something like this.
This will also eliminate one of the most annoying Fing things. Putting in that stupid bolt that clams over the poly bushing and screws into the trans. I hate that bolt!

Awesome, this is the one you pm'd me about that would probably work with my true dual setup, right? That is great if there is finally a product to relocate the front TA attachment for us true dual guys.

Is the noise from the road, tranny, rear end, etc., louder with this set up than the tunnel mounted type

It looks like it doesn't hang as low as the BMR piece, which is nice!

It gets to a point where it doesn't matter because you either install stronger components or you break stuff. It can't be more than a 5 lb difference anyway. Hope that basically answered your Q.

Well when people are scraping the undercoating off their cars (not necessarily myself just yet) to save weight a 5lb difference is notable.

I'm willing to bet it still will make noice like the rest and it will still get in the way of the x pipe. With that said I'm still pretty sure next month Ill get mine from them.

Hello,

So far we have found noise issues to be very minimal. We have noticed that when the rear end hits a large bump hard it is felt more easily with this installed. So far I have been running this on both a cammed LS1 and a stock LT1 and I do not notice increased road noise, just the vehicle more sensitive to road bumps, pot holes ect.

As for weight and ground clearance please read the FAQ's under the product ad for this information

http://www.umiperformance.com/2207.aspx

This will work fine with most TD systems out there including the TSP. If anyone wants to know for sure just send us picture and we can try to confirm it. But I see no reason why not.

Hope that helps!
Ryan
