Default IMHO, no, I've had both and my Neuspeed made the car vibrate a lot...

...APR is now very smooth and I am much happier with it. Many will tell you that the Neuspeed works fine for them though.

Most of the vibration I felt was during idle...like 800 rpm when still.

The Neuspeed does cause some vibration at idle, but it seems to me that it must work better.

are you saying the vibration is caused by the snub or it just doesnt eliminate the orig rough idle

Default The idle is definitely rougher with the NS snub than it is stock. I assume- And that's...

...all it is, an assumption, that the NS does a better job of damping drivetrain lash than the APR because it's stiffer and thus allows less movement, but that is just an assumption. I can say that I love my NS and I got used to a bit more vibration quite quickly.
