Perrin Engine Mounts and Cusco Catch Can Install and Review @ Pure Automotive

Hey guys,
Today I installed the new Perrin Engine Mounts and a Cusco Catch Can on the shop car, just thought I'd share a brief review.

Perrin Mounts


Stock Mount



Comparison



Perrin Mount Installed



The install was worry free, no issues to report. The stock mounts are a little tricky to get out because they have a stud in them that slides through the frame held in by a nut vs the Perrin mounts that use a bolt that goes into the mount. I would highly recommend having them put in on a lift, I had to jack the motor up pretty far to get the mounts out.

The good news is, I think the NVH (Noise, Vibrations, Harness) are very low. I am very pleased with the fact that car doesn't have a harsh idle at all. I was concerned that putting mounts in would make the car vibrate and rattle but thus far, its very tame!

Now I just need some driving time to the see how they are in action!


I got the Cusco catch can because I like the fact that it comes with a mounting bracket and puts it up out of the way of the rest of the engine. The hose routing that Cusco recommends is WRONG! There is a certain way that I recommend routing your catch can to retain factory parameters while making it actually functional. I also painted it black to retain the "factory" style vs bling bling chrome.



Thanks for reading!

If you don't mind taking it apart, is that stock engine mount liquid filled?

Certain models of Impreza came with fluid filled engine mounts. Most didn't. Very year specific and model specific. Just wondering really, because if you watch my dyno video GOOD GOD does the engine move.

Yea, the main reason for that is the fact that those 2 mounts are literally the only thing holding the engine in place. The only other stability comes from the trans and it's mounts. I feel like having 2 side mounts would be useful but then getting to the plugs would suck. Once I put in the trans mount upgrades, the engine sway felt worse. I think once everyone sees how little comfort you have to sacrifice, mounts will be very popular.
