I don't think you'll hear any extra sounds with only the lower mount fitted - That's definitely how it is with the VWR mounts. But it's the lower mount which kills the vast majority of the engine rocking and delivers the power more directly.

You are aware im talking about the solid race mount not the fast road mounts that vwracing do right.
Herd it in Mat ed30 car and sounded mean, dont know if that was the blueflame tbe playing mind games and im pretty sure he only has the lower on fitted aswell.
Anyway aslong as it improves power delivery to the road and stops engine rocking im happy, the Grrrr is a bonus :happy2:.

....I've driven one of VWR's track cars with solid mounts but there was so much glorious noise going on that I just enjoyed it a whole and didn't focus on exactly what each noise was. Otherwise, I haven't heard their solid race mounts yet.
Any Grrrr is definitely heard because of engine mounts and most definitely NOT the exhaust. At first, on the VWR demo car aka Red Temptress, I thought it was exhaust too but that's only because you hear it in direct harmony as the throttle widens open.
Any Grrrr is a bonus, though not for everyone, and mine has remained the same since day1 and not lessened :jumpmove:
We'll have to wait and see if the BSH behave differently or not in this respect. As they appear so similar to the VF I would expect the same behaviour.
GTIjames:
I have had the VF mounts on for almost a year now they were the only choice at the time as the BSH and VWR were not yet available but been very happy with them.
I can confirm what Robin says re the Grrr sound, it makes the car sound a lot more purposeful and I like it
Though there is alot more to these mounts than just increased cabin noise - they have pretty much eliminated wheel hop and less engine movement also means less body roll which in turn improves handling, acceleration, breaking and gear changes.
the side effects are increased cabin noise and a bit more feedback through the steering wheel and pedals - for me this is not a negative for some it might be...
justin@bsh:
Great Review! :drinking:
Great Idea on mounting the charcoal canisters as well. We have been working on a bracket to do that very same job.
By the time Ben gets the order placed for the group buy he is putting together these will be sent out with everything the Euro spec cars need.

....I'm in the process of sourcing you a Charcoal Cannister (Phil@BSH asked for one) - Do you not want one now? If not please tell me asap so people can stop their searching.

While you are here, Justin, perhaps you could let us know what durometer your BSH mounts use, please. And also whether you expect the mounts to 'settle' and make less Grrrr! sounds in harmony with the throttle and exhaust.
Thanks :smiley:
