He's actually sending me some parts today, because he's a total sweetheart to talk to and he picks up when i call, every time.

Well maybe I jumped in too early, our definitions of streetable are certainly different. I only read the bit about them vibrating like crazy and you wanting 20x less noise

Right, because there's a problem with the parts. What i am experiencing is not normal for this setup.

He was expecting (and wanting) 200% vibrations, and got 201%, which is unacceptable.

Update: Vibrations are due to the motor sitting WAY low and jamming the header into the subframe. Oil pan is lower than subframe. Mounts are still wrong.

Cody, i'm in Indianapolis.

That horrendous garbage will never touch a car of mine. If i wanted to pay for some floppy infuriating driving experience, i'd buy a Camry.

I wrote you a song.

Does your pan hang low, does it rattle when you go?
Does your header get squished on the subframe that’s below?
Did you get incorrect parts in your order long ago?
Does your pan......hang......loooooooooooooww?

Be careful.
If you hang around with Neb long enough, you're bound to meet the rest of us miscreants.
