Oh great heavens, 034 has
Oh great heavens, 034 has some smart cookies on their team. I own a s4, with most bolt one already installed, stage two 034 map of course. Mostly drive on street, I’ll track it once a year. Instalation requires a professional, although my buddy and I did it in his garage, there’s an extensive list of tools though. After installation I noticed an immediate difference, the slop from the drivetrain is practically nonexistent compared to slightly worn (but not leaking) OEM mounts. The whole front end is much stiffer, even the suspension feels tighter. Drivetrain feels more in line with the frame itself, the body doesn’t lag behind when shifting. With a tune, startups are thunderous and very RS aggressive. When it comes to NVH, there’s definitely a noticeable difference inside of the cabin, very strong vibrations in the first 2k rpm, this only happens when starting from a stop or when gradually coming out of a slow turn. When it comes to idling/warming up, you may feel a vibration but I don’t notice it being much louder, when cold it may make loose objects rattle though. Most NVH will subside after the mounts’ break-in period, if anything the car feels more like a race car, win win. The mounts may be double the price of the oem mounts although the gains in performance and overall drivetrain health are well worth it. If I could rate this product an 11/10, I absolutely would. I was smiling ear to ear and laughing with joy on my drive home. Side note: If you own any b9 I highly recommend getting some sway bars or just the single rear bar. Unlock the potential of your car which you’ve spent so much on already: turns feel f…. . g magical.
