I have a nice exhaust to listen to, I don't want it drowning out with that solid GRRRRRRR crap!  :wink:


trust me you can still hear the exhaust it just sounds so nice


....Mat is right - You only hear the Grrrrrrrrrrr under throttle and so it is in perfect timing and harmony with the exhaust sound and you could even think it's part of the exhaust sound.

I don't have a clue if the Grrr can be heard outside the car though.

^^^^
You could hear it on the VWR demo GTI 'The Red Temptress' too. In fact I thought it was the VWR Milltek at first. It really helps the car sound less of just a 4-pot inside the cabin.

Straight-cut gears whine is another great sound.

I've had solid mounts before on MKIIs and more recently my MKIV. When I was working in Manchester, crawling back and forth in the rush hour traffic they made me want to burn it.

I think I need a tester to see how it'd feel on the MKV.

....Well you are welcome to have a passenger ride if we meet.

I don't quite understand your "burn" comment - On the Mk5 you don't hear them at all unless accelerating hard and you surely wouldn't be doing that in rush hour traffic. At least, that's how VWR's 'Fast Road' mounts are.

Vibration and whine at certain RPMs, particularly in this case when I was crawling at about 10mph in 1st or 20mph in 2nd gear - exactly what I didn't need going up the Parkway into the city!!

I know the MKV is a different set up, so will hopefully get a go in someone's - I'm not spending that money + fitting to find it annoys me... although I'm sure it wouldn't.

....Quality Dave (aka stokeballoon) fitted BSH mounts and found he didn't like the ride, I recall. He highly rated the product but it wasn't for him so he removed them I think.
