I get it! so will replacing with the HD mount result in less crank to wheel hp loss. what is a GTi stock 18% loss? Also will the sound increase be that noticable, i guess it wont really matter since my bora will just be screaming the whole time anyway! TTT

hey 87, the most important thing about keeping your motor mounts in top shape has more to do with saving the exhaust, then the sound. when transverse engines rock, (due to worn motor mounts) they'll take out anything attached to them. i broke studs on a perfectly good exhaust manifold by postponing the replacement of my car's mounts. a lesson learned the hard way. btw, tt stands behind their products like nobody's business. when i called and told them my newly installed front mount appeared to have failed, they sent me another right away without any question. their exhaust systems are top notch too.
