>>"The major concern I have is at idle, the steering wheel vibrated like a massager."
Umm. Yeah. Sounds about right. I have an '04 Aero and the automatics vibrate a lot while idling in gear. Fresh motor mounts can help, but it's just an inherent feature of these 2.3-turbo engines.
>>"Also from idle to about 1400 rpm's the engine exhaust note sounded off to me."
This one is hard to answer without hearing it. The 2.3-turbo doesn't have a particularly pleasant exhaust note with the stock exhaust setup. Many describe it as coarse and sort of groan-y. I cut out the middle resonator of mine to spice it up a little.
