As many things that I am working on, this falls pretty far down the list, unfortunately. I have something that might work, but a lot of things ahead of it.

The only one that fails over time, is the Drivers side / LH mount do to the engine torque upward.

The passenger side / RH mount has no issues of breaking (that I know) at its always being pushed down on.

Anyways around June 2014 the IS F mounts were superseded with new part numbers that are still current and found on all 2015 to 2020 RC F & GS F.

Only time will tell if the newer mounts have the same problems..

If the mounts last 10 years / 100k miles.. I would think they have done their jobs.

Has anyone seen that the track edition of the RCF uses these motor mounts, or does it have its own?

The RC F Track Edition uses the same 2 motor mounts and 1 rear trans mount

All found on GS F / RC F / IS F

How was the fitment trash? Mine bolted right up no problem. Do you even know the condition of your motor mounts? Seems to me you have a bigger issue with your car if changing out a transmission mount made your car SO LOUD your ears hurt. You installed a mount not open headers so stop exaggerating.

the bracket no longer lined up with the holes. ill try to include pics. and my motor mounts are okay. i barely had any noise before this installation. it really is loud man. i had trouble talking to my passanger during highway driving. do u have IG or something? i can send u some vids. thanks. i exagarrated with the trash fitment. but basically i had to drill the holes bigger to make the bolts go in. the mount was slightly crooked.

I don’t have social media sorry. All you needed to make the support brace to line up was a pry bar and slide the bolt on. If your on stock engine mounts that could possibly make the vibration worse since the oem mounts aren’t stiff by any means. Have you actually checked them? Mine were torn. I’m on solid motor mounts and the kein transmission mount and have slight vibrations at idle but that’s it’s and it’s so insignificant you might not even notice.

my mechanic didnt recommend using a pry bar to line it up. he drilled the existing hole a little bit bigger to fit the bolt.
anyways, in my cabin it sounds like i have a full straight pipe exhaust eventho i am completely oem.
idk whats up with that.

I drove normal at the start, and then i hit the gas. pre installation the noise while cruising would be almost non existant.

I listened to the video and I honestly could hear anything weird or odd from it.

Mine definitely doesn't sound that loud. There's that mechanical/whirring sound but you don't hear it with music on at volume 20+, it's very minimal. I have RR engine mounts as well. Also, not sure what's up with your fitment there. Did you flip the brace? Lol.

hmm, thats quite odd. since from other recordings in my car my car is literally close to silent in the cabin when im doing city driving or normal driving. and now with my volume at 30 i can barely make out what the artist is saying.
My exhaust is completely stock. so if it went from close to dead silent on a cruise, to barely hearing my music at level 30, something is defenetely up.
