That's weird I didn't know those did anything. I threw them out years ago after seeing what a pain it was to put 'em in. ::)

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I figured for the price of new mount's why not, these were added on the 1983 and later model's

I found a set at a junk yard (of the isolators) off a Cabby.  I was looking for the mount brackets to press in new mounts without having to remove mine from my DD.  My Rabbit didn't have any isolators, so I was curious.  I installed them just to see.  Was kind of a PITA to install but it did make a considerable difference.  Got rid of a lot off rattle and hum.  And those were used yard finds on used mounts.  I'm sure GEE-BEE's would work even better, especially in combination with new mounts.  Just my $.02
