Nice, I would expect these to be constantly moving items in your stock.

Was there any NVH increase in the final production version?

I'd suspect there is a NVH difference between the street and race versions
the yellow bushings are the street version, Black is the "race" version that will cause a little more NVH

I'm going to throw a set of street inserts in my 2017 when they arrive

I've already filled both of my stock mounts with 80A eurathane and I'm adding the 'black' bushing to the passenger side for kicks, LOL

Does anybody know he torque spec for the bolt on the passenger mount that you would have to remove to install the insert?

 

[alexrex20]

Just make it as tight as when you took it off. That's what I do and I'm still alive. The only things I've ever torqued are head bolts or anything on a bearing journal. On a motor mount? Just make it tight then give it 2 extra ugga duggas.

Any annoying NVH?

 

[Dr.Prutteklutt]

NVH?! is this a Terror Organisation?
Since i mounted Black Powerflex Bushings to my Lower Engine Mount there is Vibration, now its a bit more than befor.
But thats my Track Car so i just dont care about that.
Maybe its to much for a Daily Driver.

Oh okay; thanks for the insight.

Couldn't you just remove the top 3 bolts and leave the bottom portion bolted to the vehicle? I don't see why you would have to remove the whole mount. Unless I'm missing something.

If you want to do it right, no. If you want to do a hack job, good luck. In order to properly remove the center bolt, the entire mount should come off. Trying to re torque the center bolt with the mount on the car ain't gonna happen. You stand a chance of fatiguing that bolt and wrecking havoc to the internal bushing the bolt mount is embedded in without properly getting a hold of the internal mount the center bolt fastens to. To clarify to not confuse anyone, the center bolt doesn't need to come off for the Powerflex passenger side bushing insert as depicted below. I took it off to source a stronger bolt.

No problem, I've literally taken the passenger side mount apart to fill it with 80A urethane. The stock mount is hydraulic (oil filled). The Powerflex insert will prevent a lot of the movement. You'll see how flimsy the stock mount is and how much stress the center bolt has to endure when you remove it from the car to install the insert.

Thank you for the info. And your saying the center bolt does NOT need to come off correct? How do you get the bushing on without taking that center bolt off? I apologize if that seem like a dumb question I just am wondering.

The bushing is split, even though it's hard to see that in the photos. That's what the black "rubber band" is for, to keep the insert bushing intact and on the mount once it's in place.
