How much vibration does the AMS front motor mount cause??

 

I put this mount in after doing a full turbo back exhaust so my experience could be influenced by this fact.

The biggest issue with vibration comes at idle and when you are slipping the clutch like you would from a stop during regular street driving. You will definitely feel and hear the vibrations all around you. I even had one friend say it felt like getting a massage at idle. The vibrations at low to no speed are a direct product of the poly mount and not the exhaust. With a little practice you will find a way of slipping the clutch a little different to cut down on the bad vibrations from a stop.

At speeds over 5mph I couldn't tell any difference in vibrations. On the highway I occasionally hear interior parts rattle but nothing major. This could also be a product of the exhaust causing the rattles but either way to me its very livable because the evo is not my daily driver.

 

I have the AMS front, cam side, and tranny side solid mounts, and it barely makes a difference in vibration. They help out a lot. You'll get so used to it, you'll forget they are there.

 

alright thanks!!

 

I installed the AMS front motor mount back when I still had the stock exhaust. It sends quite a bit of engine noise through the entire body of the car, and like others have said the 0-5 mph speeds are where you will notice it the most. When I first installed it the vibrations would bounce the coins in my center consel. They still do that at times but it seems to have settled down a bit or I may just be getting used to it. It really helped shifting while in turns so I'm trying to tolerate it the best I can. It really does give the Evo X that race car feel though.
