NVH is IMO not a reason to skip this bracket. The only additional vibration is wholly contained to the shifter itself and can only be felt when you are holding the shifter. There is nothing about this that can add NVH to the rest of the car UNLESS you install it incorrectly and allow the studs...
I think you're reading too much into a simple discussion. The bracket isn't magic, but it makes a big difference and is not hard to install. It's not cheap, but so far is say it's the best $ I've spent on my car to date.
I just installed my Blowfish bracket. The install was a piece of cake maybe an hour including putting the car up/down on jack stands.
I've just done one short test drive but I must say, it's a HUGE improvement. I'd estimate 90% of the notchy feel is gone and IMO even more importantly so is the...

From your description it sounds to me like you are not in Sport...
Thanks. :)
Nothing touches the paint in any way. I cringe whenever I see those strap on trunk racks flailing around the back of a car. I can't imagine subjecting either my car or bike to that sort of abuse.
Committed a cardinal sin...installed a hitch. Yes, I also have a beater that can do this sort of thing but I'm tired of leaving the Stang at home when I want to ride. I also want to start taking my bike with me on vacations and the GT is my vacation car. No towing, I didn't even wire lights...
