Default Hate the NVH. Switch back to oem mounts?

At idle I can feel everything from my motor. I am running poly motor mounts and oem trans mount. I'm thinking of buying oem mounts and replacing them because my friends have stock mounts and it's more comfortable. Am I going to lose any performance over this? I have full bolt ons

Stock mounts cost you around 5-10rwhp. Your poly mounts free those 5-10rwhp. So I would keep your poly mounts so you don't lose any performance. I'm surprised you didn't know this.

I have always heard poly motor/trans mounts add LOTS of NVH. I recommend just a new set of OEM ones to drastically reduce the issue and will work just fine. I think that one who is really into open-track and 1/4 mile use ONLY will get the only practical benefit.

I just installed Energy Suspension poly motor and trans mounts. My stock motor mounts were shot and the trans mount was a joke. I did notice a difference in NVH. I wouldn't say "LOTS", just a noticeable amount.

Cisurfer...I would try a new trans mount but keep the poly mounts. I could only imagine it adding more NVH though but who knows. I guess if it bothers you that much maybe stockers would be better.
