Mystery rear whine, I suspect the diff, but at a loss on diagnosing further

Are the mounts stock? At 47k miles, I had some appreciable wheel hop whenever the car was in the wet. It was bloody awful. It did have older tires, which once replaced took care of 80% of it, but there was still the remaining 20%. I went to diff mounts next, and installed some blox collars on the bushings. This 100% took care of it, but did increase the diff sound to be more noticeable, especially with the clutch in coasting in gear or accelerating in first with light throttle, for example slowing to a stop light or taking off from one, and it increased the NVH slightly.
Any chance you can post a video of the noise?
Another benefit of the blox diff bushing collars is the rear of the car feels much more connected and in control, and I can feel the diff working properly.

Well, this is a good start to the ebay diff adventure.
The beautiful packaging as it arrived to my door:
Given the state of the box, I'm actually shocked that the only obvious damage is one bent axle-flange ear:
FML. Not sure if I should bother with this thing or not...

Oh forget it! That sucks! I would contact the seller asap and give them these pics, tell them you want them to send you a prepaid shipping label for a return. If they give you any push back tell them you will open a claim. Ebay should be on your side and refund you if they dont.
