Default According to APR it....

<i>APR's Snub Mount Upgrade replaces the front engine mount on the car. This mount enhances upshifting and downshifting, reduces driveline shock, and helps power transfer by taking up excess drivetrain slack.</i><ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/support/snub_mount.pdf">APR Snub Mount Installation Instructions (139k PDF)</a></li></ul>

Default yes it does make a suble difference..

From what I noticed..
You can really tell the difference when lauching..
or getting on it, zipping through the gears.. it's really hard to discribe..
I think crisp would be a good word..
I still can't figure out how to discribe it, but I can tell the difference..
The down****ing, esp to 2nd is noticable for me at least.. no more "clunking"

I had in installed by Al in GRD..
hope this helps..
