Three of the five are done. I had the front mount all taped up, or so I thought, so when I poured it it leaked. Oh well, I've got another can and I've still got to do the pass side mount. 80A is STIFF. I can't wait to install them.

vibrations are increased slightly. you can here it in the cabin but it is very tolerable. i did notice an increase in vibration with the car first idles down near a stop. mine does the same thing in the 6 speed if i let the RPMs fall low.

Im installing them this coming weekend. Im going to let the cure first.

your vibrations should not even come close to what people were experiencing with the innovative mounts.

Two cans is enough to do the five mounts on the 6-speed. It takes all of one can to do the front and side mounts and will take probably half of another can to do the two transmission side mounts and the rear mount. I think using 80A on the front mount will not be a bad idea. Using 80A on all the mounts would not cause any more significant vibration. Its not that much more stiff. I went with 60A on the front and side and think it is plenty stiff. I still have not done the trans mounts or the rear and it is good enough as is. I will still be pouring the trans mounts and rear mounts with the 60A as soon as I have time to take them out for a few days.
FYI!!!! It is very important you let the poly set up for a few days before installing them. The instructions say to let it set up for seven days. You could probably install them after only 2-3 days but I would not do any spirited driving until 7 days has passed. Also my front mount has settled creating about 1/2 a millimeter gap between the top of the poly and the steel collar on the frong mount. I will probably pull it out and put a coat of poly between the collar and the existing poly just to get a tight seal. I have not noticed any reduction in performance because of the settling. The settling stopped about two days after I installed them and I now have 4000 miles on them since and they have not settled any more. Still very happy with the results.

i just did one side and one front and used up an entire can, until the last drop. i could of used about another ounce because i split some. so you need 2 cans for all of the mounts. as stated by jim above.

Motor and Transmission mounts from Innovative Mounts.
I received my black hard poly mounts about 2 months ago and had them installed this past month by my local Acura dealership, they went on with no problems!, yes the car is going to have more pass through vibration in the steering wheel but other than that they are great! I had Acura check them this past week and they have not warped or been f-up. They include new more updated hardware.
I truly believe that they have worked out most of their issues in the past and I would recommend them any time.

Lets see some pics and please put them in the proper thread, The innovative mounts thread. It has grown quite large. This thread is about making our own mounts. Thanks for the info though. Im still skeptical
