Xcessive vs Himni Poly Motor Mounts
I have gone through almost all engine mount threads but have not found a definitive answer on what I want to know. I am about to put my fully rebuilt motor back in but need to put in some stiffer engine mounts. What I need to know is out of the new Himni mounts (red ones) and the Xcessive mounts which one causes more vibration and which one stops the motor from moving better? Need to order a set asap but want to make the correct informed choice.

i've currently have the Himni racing poly mounts with no experience with the xcessive mounts.
i am pleased with the himni mount though.
have held up perfectly for a year now and not harsh or noticeable at all.
no need for a torque brace with these.
hope it helps bro

Check out either 'Garfinkle motor mounts' or the new ones coming out from FFE..
.
Both are great products' Garfinkles being one of the only mounts that does not directly transmit vibrations, like IRP mounts it isolates one side of the mounting hardware from touching either the subframe out the motor mounts... (If that made sense at all...)

Which mount is stiffer is a VERY hard thing to test. It's subjective to the end user, and typically people only have a set of broken stock mounts to compare it to.
One thing the Himni mounts have that others don't is they can work with the aluminum motor mount arms. They have a divot machined on top of the mount to fit the cone on the aluminum arm. You simply remove the stock rubber mount from the arm, drill a hole in the mount, and bolt it on.
All the other aftermarket mounts I know of require you to send the arm off for machining or have the shop machine the mount and attach the arm. Or, try and track down a cast iron arm, which is a pain.
The good thing here is we're spoiled for choice. There are a lot of great well-designed and well-engineered mounts out there, I think you'll really be in good shape any way you go.

I have another steel arm already on its way actually so that part I don't have a problem with. Seems lots of people have the himni mounts and are pretty happy with them also. Any feedback between them and irp? I'm losing interest in the xcessive ones
