Hi, I have one fitted. You will not experience engine vibration, but you will hear the diff whining.
I\'ve also had the diff solid mounted which increased the noise a little more.
 
I also have the gearbox braced and solid engine mounts, all of which have not introduced vibration, just noise.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Chris

As Chris says, no vibration, just noise. The gearbox brace is worse though - with both braces on, my car sounds like a touring car inside! The transmission is louder than the exhaust...

hmmm, might not be a viable thing for a mostly road car then!

With just the diff brace I expect you\'d be fine, there is a bit of a "shhh" sort of noise you can hear, a loud-ish exhaust will probably drown it out. It\'s the gearbox brace that really delivers the noise.
