Default Quieting the transmission

This makes a significant difference! Thought I'd post some pics


^^ What I actually have done here is cut two pieces in the shape of a "C" the size of the opening and taped them back to back at the shifter base, then installed the rubber trans cover.




^^ I did not install the center console rear foam since the dynamat covers that location now.

All exhaust and transmission rattles are gone and the Borla Touring system sounds great!

I'm not following here. You cut two pieces of what and taped them back to back and put them where? I don't see it in the pics. The only thing I see is dynamat.

At the base of the B&M Shifter joint under the rubber cover, I cut two pieces leaving a 1in hole for the shifter to pass through, then bolted the cover back on.
