Hey folks!
I wanted to give a shout out to my friend Daniel aka [MENTION=4142]SwAp GaS[/MENTION] and at the same time recommend an unorthodox mod that I am absolutely loving on my car in the last week.
So, back story, about a week ago we did some wrenching on my car, installing a 6-point brace and a hybrid Mountune mod that I bought from Daniel. His Mountune broke under pressure (X47++ with meth with LSD with lightweight flywheel) so he modified it. The part that broke was the smaller of the two polyurethane bushings. He put a billet insert with a press fit in its place, and gnarled it so it would not come out. The result is a very nice looking (see pics below) and functional RMM. It's not as soft as a Cobb or Mountune, but not as NVH-inducing as a more solid mount like a CP-E or Boomba. The result is you get a bit of the best of both worlds - a bit more vibration but nothing bad at all, due to the larger bushing still being polyurethane, but the connection to the car is totally amazing. You hear and feel the engine/exhaust more, shifts are crisper, etc.
On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is soft and no NVH and no engine feel and 10 is hard and lots of rattle and noise, this "hybrid" is a great compromise for anyone looking for more connection without the side effects of fully solid mount.
Stock RMM = 1
Softer (e.g. Cobb) RMM = 4
Hybrid homemade RMM = 7
Harder (e.g. CP-E, Boomba) RMM = 10
Anyhow check out the pics, I'm loving this mod, if you have a broken Mountune or Cobb sitting on the shelf, consider this before buying something else, it can be done relatively inexpensively. Holler at [MENTION=4142]SwAp GaS[/MENTION] for more info, he'd be glad to help. He doesn't post here much but he's a super guy who has helped me with a few installs and does everything right and in about half the time it takes everyone else. Oh, and his car is insane as well, a quality and good-looking build with a long list of kills.
Hope that helps some folks! Thanks for reading.
