Searched but didn’t find much.

I’ve felt some drivetrain lash in my IS-F after driving it now for a week+
already replaced trans mount with KEIN unit.
feels better.
lots of threads on trans mounts. But not much on motor mounts.
anyone had experience with those?
I'm interested in KEIN motor mounts.
I kinda like that these use rubber, not poly (which needs to be oiled every 3 years, + it’s quite stiff)
but KEIN is quite a ways different design in comparison to PPE, or stock ones.

any one has experience with these?

reason for doing mounts: (slight manifold leak in passenger side exhaust manifold)
Since I do all work on my own and always have a friends shop with a lift to borrow for the night or a weekend, I’m planing to do this myself.
remove stickers, weld them up, and maybe reinforce the rest of the flanges with atleast s weld head all the way around.

planing on headers eventually, but need something with cats. (I hate the stink) so I’m not willing to fork out $2500 at the moment.

current symptoms: audible exhaust leak for 5-10 seconds at every cold start up, turn quiets down.
Manifold heat shield slightly covered with soot/smoke (checked with endoscope)
typical exhaust smell at WOT while driving.
smell isn’t as bad if windows slightly open, and i set heat/ac to recirculate.

it’s time to button things up.

also what about a set of Polly diff mounts? How do I stiffen the diff up a bit? (Should be easy diy)

so any KEIN motor mount users out there?

 

I'm curious as how you get KEIN products as they are from the Russian Federation.

 

they’re not. They’re from Dubai
id never order anything from faschist russia

 

They might be selling through Dubai, but they manufacture in Russia. Track their phone #,

"To receive cargo in the shopping mall, you must have: for individuals - a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation."

Personally, buy from whomever you like...

 

Kein mounts are well known to be from Russia. They changed their shipping location on many listings after US sanctions.

 

Do you get noticeable whine from the trans mount? I’ve seen more than a few people ditch the kein trans mount because of the sound.

 

Great news. The RR Racing motor mounts are made right here in the USA and not Russia.

Poly has a lot of benefits like reducing engine deflection and improved throttle response. The Polyurethane we use is not aggressive in durometer but could have slightly increased vibration at idle. however, you might not feel it if you're coming out of beat mounts that may have also been causing vibration.

The best part of our mounts is that we provide heat wrap shielding. This is critical in protecting them from heat. No other mount offers heat protection. Our mounts have a lifetime warranty and there is no grease involved so you do not have to worry about regreasing as you mentioned.

Do they come with the heat shield? That’s pretty cool.

 

Yes, that wrap kit is included.
