But yeah if you follow the DIY and get the reinforced rubber tank bolt washers and more rubber o-rings it should be much better.
Don't forget the dynamat either!
Quick question, anyone one here S/C'ed and think the stiffy is a must? not only will it reduce wheel hop but also prevent the motor from moving so muich adding more stress to the blower right?

i like mine, i only get a rattle when the car is at idle with the A/C on. and it is better for everyday driving, it makes shifting easier as well. especially when rev matching to downshift.

idk bout the haters, but i do like my ETD. the car just feels more sporty. and to alleviate the prob i had with the rattling i just put dynamat under the mounting bracket like previously said on here, and since i also have a strut bar, i had to cut away some of the plastic above the strut mounts just so nothing would be touching to cause any bad virbration...

BTW if yours rattles, then something is not tight or it is installed wrong.
A couple of times I had a bolt lose or a nut and their was a very loud rattling sound. Kind of like if you ever had a Strut tower brace touching the hood. If you hear a maetallic rattle then check your nuts. lol
