Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Long story short, these were Fabspeed tips which were very difficult to get adjusted when I originally did the exhaust.
Leading evidence: 'Adjust when i originally did the exhaust' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust when i originally did the exhaust' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I finally got some time for a little garage therapy and based on feedback from my RL brothers, I secured a set of Wevo sem-solid engine mounts. The replacement process was relatively painless (other than that they didn't appear to fit into square recess) until I found the exhaust tips (passenger side) were up significantly and touching the bumper cover.
Long story short, these were Fabspeed tips which were very difficult to get adjusted when I originally did the exhaust. After a couple hours of trying to make them work, I reverted to the stock tips (in about 15 minutes, good grief). Everything appears to be working as expected - I even seem to have gotten rid of a very slight exhaust rattle which I attributed to the heat shield.
Initial impressions are good. The only noise or vibration that I detect inside the cabin is during downshifts - acceleration and idle are smooth. The notchy shifting that I've noted appears to mostly be gone. I think I'll try a FF tranny insert in a last gasp to fully resolve that.
Careful with those exhaust tips. I did not properly clamp one of mine when I moved them to a set of Fisters - and subsequently melted a bit of my rear bumper cover. You may want to check them again after driving for a few days - had I done this, I would have one less item on my "things to do to the 996 someday" list.
I sort of hit that mistake when I put the FS tips on originally. They were clamped tight, but apparently too close to the bumper cover. I didn't notice it right away, but I have singed that inside part of the cover. If you look at my avatar, the driver side is where I got too close which is interesting because in the pic it's the passenger side that looks closer.
Thanks for pointing that out. I purchased a set of beautiful fabspeed exhaust tips
.. however, they are not double insulated like the factory ones and ended up melting the bumper cover. fabspeed looks great but!!!!!
