Has anyone else had any experience with the cp-e 55 mounts ? I’m having my clutch replaced, I’m at 80k miles and thought that I should do the mounts as well. The car is my daily and I’d like the least amount of noise/vibrations, while adding some performance.

Thoughts on motor/transmission mounts?

I would suggest BFI if manual. You only get NVH on engagement if you don’t give it 1500-2K RPM on take off. Otherwise it’s like stock. DSGs suffer much more NVH in general conditions with mounts due to the creep function which retains 800 RPM idle.
I had a DSG car w/ BFI Stage 1 and the NVH wasn’t too bad for me. the performance was absolutely worth the very minor (5-15% increase NVH in varying conditions)
Nice. I have a 6 speed. I'm between getting the BFI stage 1 mounts, or the CP-E 55 mounts. I see mixed reviews about the two, although, there's not much about the CP-E mounts. They haven't been around as long but do use rubber. I'm keeping a dual mass flywheel and ordered a HS RSR clutch, in order to avoid NVH.

Diggs did CP-E 55’s and said it was like stage 3 not stage 1. I would go BFI but by all means try and get feedback from another 6MT CP-E stage 1 owner

70s actually. BFI stage 1 in now and much quieter.

I got the 70 flavor. Its loud but I guess I’ve just gotten used to it. I knew what I was in for though. I was trying to rule out any manual transmission slop and I think I did. With a smfw it sounds very “rally car”.
My friend who has never changed his own windshield wipers laughs and says I got ripped off by VW and no car should ever sound like that. He likes Teslas and “luxury” SUVs
lol that's crazy. No rip off. Different strokes for different folks. I drive 200+ miles a day, so I want comfort. I have full bolt ons and IE stage 2. I have an RSR clutch on the way, along with a DMF. I might give velt sports mounts a try. They're OEM style. There's a rumor that Vibra -Technics may come out with some mounts for our cars. We shall see. I'll shoot them an email.

Velt sports are made by the same factory that 034 and CTS outsource through. Aka they’re the same mounts. They suck.
That sucks. I’m sticking to an OEM-like option for now. I was able to confirm that Vibra-Technics is in fact working on a mount kit for the MK7 platform. I emailed the company and was told that they’ve been in development for quite some time and that they anticipate to have a release date this summer. I’ll use these other mounts in the meantime and pay the premium for Vibra-Technics, should everything look promising.

That’s great to hear with vibra-tech
Of all the mk4s with mounts I’ve felt and driven those are the best *for my preferences* hands down.

Yea, I have CTS and they are nothing special. I went with CTS cuz I figured they were the same as 034 and were cheaper. AFIAK, my CTS mounts are still in one piece, but def nothing special. I'd consider putting stock back in for sure for less vibration.

Intrigued to see what happens with Vibra-Technics. Surprised it took them this long given all the half-assed options for an OEM+ solution. It seems to be either crappy improvement over OEM (034 street density), all out race-car NVH if you want to retain rubber (034 billet street sport), or switch over to polyurethane and deal with all that comes along with it (BFI 1 or 2).
