I have the 60 duro as well and so far there is no noise but just a very slight vibration when idle with the A/C on...hardly noticeable though...the entire car just feels so much more solid with it in...
Installed my 75 duro yesterday, took it out for a spin. I'm really liking how CP-E made this mount so stiff and yet it doesn't transfer as much NVH into the cabin as I expected. We'll see how things are long term.

I got mine from Protege Garage but I know SU also carries it as well. CPE has had some problems keeping a steady supply of them to the vendors though so they haven't exactly been that easy to get your hands on one. There were also originally some issues with the initial design which further delayed availability.
I THINK I have the 60-duro (it's got a black rubber insert as opposed to the original blue one) and like everyone else has said, this mount is solid without being overly harsh. I think it's as close to stock in NVH you're going to get with an aftermarket rear motor mount for this car. Along with my other tranny mods, shifting is so much better than stock and it's fairly obvious the engine isn't moving around much at all. There is some initial vibration when taking off from 1st and once in a while when the compressor kicks in, there are some additional vibrations in the steering wheel but it's quite mild and definitely worth it considering how much it has improved the shifting.
Mind you I haven't tried any of the other aftermarket MMs on the market but I seriously doubt any of them will suit my goal of improvement with little to no sacrifice to NVH/daily driver friendliness. It's a solid 8/10 in my books. Get one if you can, it's worth every penny.
All revised CP-E mounts have the black bushing, regardless of duro. The only way to tell if you have the 60 is if there's a white dot on the bushing. If not, you have the 75.
Thanks for the clarification - mine does have the white dot on it. I was fairly certain I had the 60-duro as I got it back in Dec. when (I think) the 75-duro wasn't even offered yet.
How are your initial impressions thus far? Seeing that you have the 75-duro which is just a tad stiffer than mine, similar impressions in terms of NVH as me or are the vibrations a bit more pronounced? Any comparisons to other mounts that you have tried (if any)?
Just ordered mine a few moments ago and hope to agree with everyone's comments thus far. PG.com didnt have an option for which type I wanted to get (60 or 75 seem to not be so bad vibration wise).

Love it. I rarely drive my car so I doubt it's broken in yet, but the added vibes are just enough to make the car feel more visceral without compromising comfort. The other day I was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic with the A/C cranked high and it's definitely still liveable. Shifting is much more predictable because I don't have to take engine rocking into consideration. The engine just simply does not move even when I row through the gears like a monkey on speed churning butter.
