I was just looking thru the " install help " section and noticed the motor mount mod....what is the point behind it and what does it do? pro's and con's?
well from what i understand.... and its not alot i assure you is two things the stock ones are weak and tend to crack or break and it help with the wheel hopping when your charging off the line, thats all i took from reading other threads about it
If you look at your motor while it is idleing, it does alot of jumping around. Im thinking that if you stiffin up the mounts, that vibration will be transferred to the rest of the car causing a big annoyance.[sm=dontgetit.gif]
it's basically a cheaper alternative to buying inserts. does the same thing. not really worth it imo/ime if you have any sort of decent power. soild mounts are definetly much better.
Motor mount inserts are very inexpensive and far better, so I don't see the point in filling the mounts with that stuff when you can simply put inserts in. Using solid mounts is a great idea if you plan on making lots of power. All of these are to minimize wheel hop and transfer power to the ground quicker and more completely by reducing or eliminating the engines movement. They will all transfer more vibration and sound through the cars body making the engine and exhaust sound louder and the stiffer it is the more it will transfer which is why most opt for the inserts instead of the solid mounts.
i put street performance mounts in my car. it still hops alittle when taking of the line but not like it did. the exuast has a little bit of a different sound aswell.
