Anyone switch from Vibra-tech RMM to CPE?

I have found the vibra-tech to be a little harsh and want to soften things up a bit. Has anyone used both and can speak to whether there’s a noticeable difference in NVH?

I'll send you a Whoosh low mileage or Cobb low mileage for your Vibra techincs.

I switched from the CP-E (which I still own) to the VibraTechnics fast road model expressly to try and quell some of the CP-E's NVH, especially it's perceived by me 'buzziness' during the cold winter season.

In my opinion, the VT is a tiny bit less shaky at idle than the CP-E, but it is not 'leaps and bounds' more smooth.

I personally would not swap the other way if you are looking to lessen the NVH, unless you already have the full race version VibraTechnics installed.

Very hot in Texas, I’m avoiding the polyurethane bushings.

If he has the fast road one I do not see the problem the only time I notice a little from mine is at idle with the air on i.e. . Otherwise I love it. In fact ai have full Vibra-technics in my car feels great no excessive NVH.

It’s finally settled some now that it’s hot, I used to get a really annoying rattle in my dash cluster at the rpm I cruise at on the highway.

Still, I was wondering if there’s a good compromise between stock and this one. CPE seemed like it had a meatier bushing.

I do not have experience with the Vibra Technics mounts, but the NVH from the CP-E passenger side mount was way more than I expected (coming from stock mount with the Powerflex insert). I was close to removing it at first but decided to see if it would mellow out; I'm not sure if it has actually lessened or if I have just become used to it, but I don't notice it as much now.

I still have the Powerflex insert on the driver side mount; I'm not sure if that's contributing to or mitigating the NVH. In any case, I doubt the CP-E is less harsh than the Vibra Techics mount.

I really like CP-E's stuff. (I have their Nexus exhaust system on the car, and their intercooler waiting to be installed.)

But if/when I ever do the driver and passenger side mounts, it's getting the VibraTechnics Fast Road units.
