completely solid motor mounts do have 1 problem - they not only transmit engine vibration to the chassis, but chassis vibration to the engine. This can cause errant triggering of the knock sensors and reduced power when hitting rough surfaces.

it could, it's all a speculation at this time. I feel no loss of power then again i only have ecu flash/exhaust.

Anyways, today i went to my local shop, got new tires mounted up front. After work, i went for a drive that lasted 5 hours. The chassi is sublime. I can't believe i didn't do this ealier. The balance into and mid turn is .... i'm speechless on how refine the machine has become with me. It is so compose and balance i was giggling like a 1 year old playing pika boo. It is utterly epic. The chassi is so stiff, that you can actually feel mid turn the car railing the turns on the outside tires and lifting the inner tires. The noise, oh to die for. It's a magical piece of machine and man. This is what a driving experience should be like.....I think i need new tires and pads after my 5 hour drive...

You have some serious issues my friend

, I did the Torque solutions and as much as you can feel a huge difference i am wondering about the solids, but around here the roads suck so it would probably end up being not fun.

Hilarious. As I recall from years back aren't you running straight pipes to begin with? I can't imagine how loud it must be now!
