ECS dog bone insert anyone done it?

[bmx]

just thinking about doing the lower engine mount with the ecs insert, if anyone has done it on a mk5,
does it stop the noisy nocking that happens if the car wheel spins?
and is there anymore noise transmitted through the cabin?

Yes, I've done it on the ED30 and my last regular GTi, with the GTi it completely stopped the wheel hop that you talk about even though it was running APR stage 2 and making 262bhp, but with the ED30 it must asking that bit to much, although its helped a great deal its not stopped it completely.
I can't say I've noticed any increase in cabin noise or vibration with either car and for the cost I think its a real worthwhile mod.

Is this a good suggested mod for DSG as well as manual transmission cars ?
Didn't see it on Hurdy's list of mods...

I discounted it with the reasoning that there were reports on the ride quality suffering too much, vibration from smaller ruts in the road etc.

I can't rule it out though, but it's not even near the top of my list yet.

I can't say I've noticed much difference in noise or vibration with the ECS insert

Do you reckon their worth the outlay then?

I've only got the poly torque insert (Neuspeed) fitted and not an ali dog bone. Not a dramatically felt difference but no more broken exhaust mounts so far!

think i might save my money and put it towards a quaife slip diff

....Ah ha!! There's a lot of info in that !!

Quaiffe ATB is very tempting at some stage (IMMEDIATELY after warranty expires! Within hours!!)
