RSS Engine Mounts
Had RSS engine mounts fitted yesterday by my suspension tuner.
Wanted to ask those of you who have already done this mod, whether you then got an extra noise in the cabin when accelerating through 1st or 2nd gear?
Sounds like darth vader breathing in! A great sound, but I don't see how this can result from the engine mount install
Or do you think my fitter didn't reattach something on the air intake properly (which all needs to be removed to get at the engine mounts)? I looked in the engine bay myself today and everything looks connected and secure..

Def. not from engine mounts, if you were to notice any additional cabin noise it would probably be at cruise when the engine and exhaust are not competing for decibels.
But like their other suspension pieces, they dont add much, if any noise...I know I could not hear any anyways.
I think your on the right path checking intake and related hoses etc. Tough to see some of the hoses, especially the throttle body to y pipe hose which can mount but not be aligned on the bottom and thus leak (and eventually pop off) with engine movement.
I always suggest that if that hose has been removed a few times to replace it, the bead wears on the tube and wont seal very well on the y pipe to throttle body.

Haven't noticed much of a handling difference as yet however the noise difference is massive. The car sounds like a Lambo now in the cabin - much more raw!

I installed a set of RSS motor mounts just a month back....they added zero noise of any kind....the install was easy...yes all the airbox **** had to come off. Check to make sure both mounts are seated properly...there is a square peg on the mount at the bottom that fits in the chassis...this obviously must align. Are you making full boost?

I will try to take a look at the alignment of the mounts...
