Im not that keen on the powerflex mount that my milltek has to have, as i find it adds to floor and cabin vibration on idle.

But hey ho, rather had that then a cracked milly or near solid engine mounts personally.

Yep, that is doable Matt :happy2:. I think the solid race ones have "added tinkle", the VF and BSH ones just get a more muted growl. :smiley:

been looking at the BSH ones and they seem to be getting good review so might be next on the list if i can ever get hold of Dubtek  :grin:


....The thing is though that BSH don't make a proper Lower Engine Mount - They only do the side mounts. BSH offer a dogbone but it doesn't offer much improvement.

It's the Lower Engine mount which delivers the most significant power transfer benefits and you can feel it immediately after installation. Also, the VWR 'Fast Road' Lower Engine mount doesn't transfer engine bay sounds nor light buzzy vibrations. I know - I've ran it on its own and now have all 3 VWR mounts.

Mat will confirm whether the VWR solid 'Race' Lower Mount transfers any sounds/vibes or not - Mat?

Stokey, do you now have just the VWR 'Fast Road' Lower Mount? Are you feelin' any vibes, man?

....Oh dear! Is that the Grrr which BSH mounts give? It's much more constant than my VWR. Mine only scream in under harder throttle - Sounding more like a sporty engine cylinder sound and in perfect harmony with the exhaust.

It might be the recording though. These things are tricky to record so they sound realistic.
