    Of course NVH is subjective. So why do you even bother asking the question?

    The tremble while idling is subjective if it happens!

    Whenever you switch from a rubber bushing to a poly bushing you're going to increase NVH.

    For most people here, the inserts from Powerflex or NM add a negligible amount of NVH, but the consensus is that the pros out way the cons.

    Now, for you, will it add to much NVH to be annoying? Only you can answer that question after you install it. The good thing is that if you end up not liking it then you can sell it for a minimal loss.

    Not sure how I missed this thread....
    It's kinda trippy!!

    BUY PURPLE unless you are a racecar driver if you are worried about NVH....

    Every other post is just funny....
    Makes me think of a saying...
    "You can't fix......." :)

    Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via "jury" evaluations, or with analytical tools that can provide results reflecting human subjective impressions. These latter tools belong to the field known as "psychoacoustics."

    Genik, I'm going to offer some advice, which you may or may not accept -- probably will not, from what I've read.

    I have the same car you have, and it is my daily driver. Be VERY careful what you do to your daily driver, because you are going to have to live with it... daily.

    If it aint broke, don't fix it.
