Asking for all your help please!!

Alright i got my car back from the shop today and had a new clutch, flywheel, boost controller, turbo timer, AFR wideband, upper engine mount, tranny mounts, breaks, rotors installed. Everything is working great EXCEPT the noise in the cabin.... its f******* ridiculous. Everything still sounds the same from the outside but good lord sitting inside is like sitting inside of a drag car...

Anyone have any idea why it would be so loud inside but remain the same outside? Is it simply because of the vibrations from the new mounts? I wont be able to get a hold of the shop that did it till tuesday so any help would be greatly appreciated!! Any input on how to fix this would be awesome because i DONT want a loud car. I was thinking dynamat but if its something easy you guys can think of let me know!

it's because of the mounts. don't call the shop that installed. you'll get used to them. calling the shop would kinda be like putting on a full exhaust, and then wondering why the exhaust is so loud. same thing.

after a while, you won't even notice them anymore. give it some time.

Would putting dynamat in help reduce some of the noise?

didn't you do any research before you had your mounts installed? it's pretty common knowledge that solid mounts will cause the car to vibrate. which mounts did you get? and which tranny mounts

I dont think so because if it being actual vibrations going thru the frame and complete car. Stated above after a while you wont even notice them. I have people get in mine and say they cant stand them and I dont even feel them anymore.

the prothanes will break in a little bit and like said you'll get used to them. i don't feel them really at all anymore, unless i hit the gas at a very low rpm. but laloosh said it best tonight on the way home from a wedding, he said "damn kev even your rattles vibrate"

its not so much that i feel them its just the noise lol, i was driving around and i was like wtf did they put a V8 in my car or what... i asked a couple of my buds and they said it sounded the same on the outside. At first i thought it was a leak from the catalytic converter where they welded the AFR sensor. Blah!

And actually anything ive read said that putting new mounts in would reduce cain noise. Interesting.
