Default Quiet way to mount external pump?

With e-85 needing so much more fuel twin 255's just wont cut it. It looks like i'm going to need to get a external pump to support my fuel needs. The only problem I have with that is how loud they are. The car is still a street car and I don't want to deal with that. I know the rubber mounts help but not much. Anyone have ideas on how to mount it so I get the least noise transfer in to the cabin? TIA.

These are the mounts I am talking about.

I know they will work. I've had a car with the same pump i'm looking at before (aeromotive Pro-Series Fuel Pump) on a car with the rubber mounts and it still was loud. Thanks for the quick reply.

I didn't know you can get softer ones. Do you know who makes them or even a link?

www.mcmaster.com they have a nice chart as well for all the durometers. some may be too soft that they will rip with a heavy pump
