Complete 3-piece kitEngine mount + Transmission mount + Dogbone insert
Balanced 70A durometerBig reduction in wheel hop and drivetrain slop with daily-drivable NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)
CNC-machined + reinforced constructionBuilt to handle tuned torque and repeated launches
Improved shift feelReduces powertrain windup for more precise DSG/manual engagement
Direct fit for MQB & MQBeNo permanent mods; designed around factory mounting points
Key Highlights

What You’ll Notice

70A durometer bushings strike the sweet spot: dramatically stiffer than factory rubber for enhanced traction and consistency, yet refined enough for daily commute duty. You’ll feel the drivetrain tighten up and the front end stay planted under load, without the harshness of race-only mounts.

Launches: Far less hop; more bite off the line
Shifts: Reduced “rocking” between gears; more repeatable shift timing
Throttle: Immediate response—no elastic delay between pedal and power
Chassis feedback: More connected feel when cornering or trail-braking
What You’ll Notice

NVH Expectations

At Idle

Light increase in idle vibration and a more “solid” feel under 1,500–2,000 RPM

In motion

Noticeably tighter, but not buzzy, ideal for spirited street plus track/drag use

Cobb Titanium Cat-Back Exhaust - MQBe 2.0T (Mk8 GTI) - Equilibrium Tuning, Inc.

Exhaust & mount stack effects

Aftermarket downpipes/exhausts can make NVH more apparent
