Cp-e Rear Motor Mount - Anyone With Experience?
- Thread starter New_Daily
- Start date
I've had both, ('fast road' version of the V-T), and the V-T seems to be a slight bit less NVH prone, especially in the colder temps (which you would rarely have to worry about, unless a trip to the Sierras is in store), before everything in that area of the car warms up.
That being said, I have kept the CP-E instead of selling it like everyone else does, and may be swapping it back on if the V-T starts to wear excessively, or somehow starts getting noisy itself.
Thinking about it now, there was more exhaust system (also a CP-E Nexus in my case) 'buzz' when cold, and in hindsight, it might have been caused by the overly stiff, higher durometer poly Cobb hangers, much more than any non-compliant RMM factor.
Basically, you cannot go wrong with either of these RMMs, but I do believe that the V-T 'road' version might have a slightly lower durometer rubber bushing than the CP-E.![[wink]](/images/smilies/wink.gif "Wink [wink]")

Thanks. That’s j
Thanks! That’s just the feedback I was looking for.

My vibratechnics RMM Made alittle over 50k before it needed replacement. I also ran the Trans and Pass. motor mounts too. I'd call it a good life well served in all BT miles. The only grips i had with it is their all one time use* The bushings are poured EPDM rubber i do believe. So this time around i went with AWR Mounts all the way around and for $30 i can get all the bushings in whatever durometer i want for all 3 mounts. ![[driving]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_driving.gif "Driving [driving]")
Either way you can't go wrong as anything is a better choice than Stock Poopy*![[drummer]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_drummer.gif "Drummer [drummer]")

Something interesting, I think between the fact that I drive the FiST infrequently and that i got the poly bushed RMM so long ago, this new Vibra-Technics caused noticeable vibration and noise compared to the poly RMM that came off with the ruined poly bushes. So, I’m glad I didn’t go with the cpe based on feedback here and from Ron.
But driving, especially shifting hard 1-2, SO much better. Better traction, better on wheel hop, no clunking. Like going aftermarket for the first time all over again.

Brace your eyes, 120k kms in Québec, Canada.
To add a bit to this discussion, I had the COBB RMM for 120k kms and the bushing was ovaled. I replaced it with the Vibra-Technics, and the vibrations were pretty bad. Cold morning buzzing the whole cabin for 3-4 mins bad. I have since ordered all new OEM motor mounts (the two other than the RMM) as I suspect these are gone aswell, exacerbating the vibrations created by the stiffer Vibra RMM. I'll post an update this weekend when I replace them.
