Time for timing belt, water pump, etc.

As long as I have the bumper and radiator out of the way, does it make sense to put in an APR snub mount?

Any tricks or difficulty fitting the new mount

yes, that is the perfect time to change your snub mount. I just changed mine this week with an abnormally aspirated snub mount. Made a huge difference in my car's shifting. There really isnt much of a trick to it. I took some silicone lubricant and sprayed the inside of the new snub and just slid it on. The old one may be a little difficult to get off, I just pryed it off with a big screw driver.

 

Actually, may be the perfect time for my mechanic to do the snub mount. I no longer have the time to do my own work.

I ordered one from ECS today.

 

thats when I did mine.... BTW dont let the mechanic charge you much it takes like 2 minutes to do the snub mount when everythings already off..if that
