Actually this is why I started switching my cams with the NEMU. I have my N1 cams switching at 4800 rpm, 50 tps, 160*F+ CLT. It is nice to gun the car and it be quiet as long as you don't WOT it.

That video

I have, right now, an SSAC header 2.5", 3" high flow cat, 3" SS exhaust, 3" with 5" can Borla resonator, to a bored out OEM STI muffler (3" inlet). It's not raspy at all, but when you get on VVL, it sounds like Honda because that's how high revving 4 bangers sound.

How do you like the motor mounts?

i love them.. the only time it is really noticeable is when its around 1500-2000rpms... it vibrates in the foot pedals but well worth the money for the custom mounts... can definitely feel the improved acceleration.

i just need to get better adjustable stoppers for my hood to keep it from rattling.

What material is it? Also do you know the shore rating of it?

Nice im waiting for my mounts too for my p10, how hard was to replace the lower rear mount?

90a and made of polyu..

took me maybe 5 min to take the old one out and new one in.
of course overall time took me longer and I was also pressing out and pressing in all my mounts and i washed them in a high temp parts cleaner bath.

Nice, what is the rating of Prothanes? I know there are many looking for an upgrade to Prothanes as the prothanes are just not stiff enough and tend to sag where the center pin rests causing movement.

Thread with several people looking for options. As far as the mounts go they should be the same size for the rear and driver side, I think the p11 passenger mount is a bit wider than the b13/b14 but I think it still may work as the diameter of the mount itself is the same if im not mistaken.
