Just go to avalon motorsports or apikol directly. There are pictures on their website.

I just spent an hour tring to fit this and gave up. I have a dual exhaust which nicely covers the bolts for the cross member.
Looks like the exhaust will have to come off or at least be dropped.

Fitted this today by dropping all the rear exhaust mounts. What a total bastard! Only driven it a bit
but it does feel a lot more solid on gear shifts.

Further impressions. My existing mount did seem a bit soft so YMMV. However, the new mount has really tightened up the driveline. The
bounce I used to get on gear changes is almost gone.

I'm about to buy one of these, so would like to hear more comments from those running the Apikol diff mount. Any feedback out there?

thanks,
Lloyd

I've tried both the stern mount and the ice hockey puck on my RS4 and both transmitted vibrations into the car - the stern mount being the worst of the 2!
