Well I'm having mixed feelings about installing the Nismo motor and transmission mounts with my swap due to all I've heard about the increased cabin noise...and me and cabin noise is a big no-no What I was wondering is this...if I installed the motor and transmission mounts and added on a torque dampener, would the torque dampener absorb some of that vibration before it got to the cabin? Or would it make things worse? Thanks for any feedback you guys can give me.

i dont have a torque dampenener, but anything stiffer than stock is going to vibrate more and cause rattling.
