Default Can i get some feedback on the Apikol Rear Diff Mount

I am tired of that rear diff clunk and figured its time to upgrade but thought i would ask what other people thought after they installed one on their cars<ul><li><a href="http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?products_id=1214">Link to Rear Diff Description</a></li></ul>

worth it. But it's just too pretty to have bolted underneath the car however

Default I love mine. I did get a little bit of increased hum at highway speeds but

maybe that's because I have an Avant and it transmits more noise being open back there. The "clunk" is gone. Super easy to put on too.

My diff whined like CRAZY afterwards. I switched back to a new stock mount.

Default Hey Chris, any more comments on this?

I have a loud whine from somewhere in my drivetrain (replaced wheel bearings and main driveshaft) and changed the fluid in the tranny and rear diff to redline and mobil 1 respectively to no avail.

I think it's coming from the center or rear diff. I replaced the rear diff mount (it was trashed) about 18 months ago iirc.
