I just installed my solid motor mounts that arrived today. WOW Top 3 mods I have ever done to my Porsche. It sounds raw. If you like the sound of the old air cooled engines, if you like the way they feel, you will love this mod. It is an amazing, modification. It brought back memories from driving my good friends 79 SC decked out beauty that went back to the motherland and is no longer here.

Apart from amazing sound, you hear all the mechanical noises etc. it totally fixed the transmission sloppiness I had compare to my friends RS4 which felt better. Shifting 1-2 is beautiful now. Going through the gears at WOT, you know where every gear is going to be WOW, i can't get enough of this mod ! 10/10 !

 

this is great now i've gotta spend another 500.00 what kind did you install

 

It cost about $260 shipped. I installed rennline motor mounts. This mod will give you extra cabin noise, but like i said....your looking at a raw feel...If i had front tires I would not be here typing atm....I would be out enjoying a nice drive just to feel and hear that mechanical noise.

 

Wow, sounds great. Is there more than one model (ie solid, poly, etc)?

 

Rennline only sells solids. I went with solids as others have installed the poly ones and feel or hear very little difference.

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

I've heard good reviews of the Wevo mounts too. I think Eugene might have had a set installed recently. How much more cabin noise when cruising?

 

How do these guys compare to the x73 motor mounts?

 

Why exactly does the mounts change the sound and so many other things so dramatically?

 

Glad you like it f1. Now I feel stupid because I paid more for less.

With the ss (semi-solid), I don't feel much diff in terms of performance; but I have the raw engine sound (but may not be as loud as yours).

So, you said top 3... what are the top 2?

 

3 times more then stock i would say. I'm not using wevo.

No clue, never had those or been in those.

Sound waves frequency that the engine transmits into the chassi

Thanks Eugene, well you can always return the other ones and come to my house and lets install some solids haha, well first you should ride in these.

1. GT3 seats i have
2. ruf springs + alingment
3. solid motor mounts.

 

Enrique, you're a bit crazier than the rest of us

I found the WEVO semi solid mounts to have virtually no polyurethane in them and can't imagine totally solid. To be honest, a 2 hour freeway drive made me dislike them until I switched to 18" wheels (from 19s). The taller sidewalls really help soak up a LOT! Especially if you're willing to reduce the recommended cold pressures by a few PSI.

IMO The WEVO mounts (and 997 tranny mount) coupled with 18s are a very good compromise for a mostly street car with a few track days.

 

I'm surprised the GT3 seats is #1.

 

I'm not surprised given his driving style

 

That's true! with #2 is the alignment.
