Yes, is a direct replacement. Iirc the 986 have the oval shape facing the opposite direction, but the bolt holes line up fine and the side pads still fit without issue (just a bit of stretching)

I went with the 987 because I have read that it is stiffer than the 986 engine mount. The nvh isn't extreme (compared to a Chevy big block it's nothing), but I will be honest that I like a more solid feel for a setup like this. I've never experienced an "out of the box" 986 mount so I can't compare the two. I can tell you though that the setup is as solid as any other performance-geared vehicle I've driven, and there are no rpm-based vibrations or oddities with the feel (if that makes sense). If you're near the 56258 zip code you're welcome to come experience it .
