So I am pretty sensitive to NVH and because my car is a daily driver I try to keep it comfortable. I have shied away from motor mounts for a long time because I was worried about NVH. I even replaced my busted up stock mounts with new stock mounts last time.
Well I like stock mounts for about a day (exaggeration) before they get soft and slop rears it's ugly head. I wanted to go Superpro but after dropping a bunch of $$$ on other mods looked for another option. I ended up rolling the dice on BFI stage 1.
So I just replaced my dogbone bushing with a new factory bushing and run a 034 insert and am very happy with that combo in regards to NVH so I left it as is and did not install the BFI insert provided in the kit.
Having done the mounts prior I open the hood and drop in the BFI tranny and engine mounts.
I am happy to report the mounts are very livable for a daily driver. You do get more vibration in gear at idle (DSG) but not a big deal. You feel a bit more of the engine under acceleration but it is a very tolerable (might say better) NVH. With a DSG under deceleration you do get a bit more NVH just as you stop. Cruising on the freeway or at a constant speed it's like stock.
So very happy with it. I do think had I installed the BFI dogbone insert instead of keeping my 034 insert there would be a bit more NVH.
Just FYI, if installing this kit be sure to get new tranny mount bolts as they are stretch to yield.
