I just picked up my Audi RS3 FL Sedan with OPF from HPerformance. I got the 4-inch exhaust system and a Stage 3 upgrade. I’m just super happy with how it drives and, above all, how brutal it sounds despite the OPF. Everything worked great—I can really recommend it to anyone who loves their five-cylinder engine!!
Have you optimized the performance of your vehicle and are now looking for an effective solution for the engine and transmission mounts? Excessive engine and transmission movement can negatively impact shifting precision and performance. The factory torque arm is often a weak point as it is designed with voids to increase ride comfort - but at the expense of stability.
The HPerformance dogbone insert made of CNC-milled aluminium fits precisely into the OEM bearing and minimizes unwanted movement. At the same time, driving comfort is maintained: Additional vibrations or disturbing noises in the interior are not among the disadvantages of this upgrade.
Thanks to CAD-supported development and extensive testing, the insert was specially designed for the original rubber mounts. The result? A significant reduction in engine movement, without disruptive side effects such as excessive noise or vibrations - a common problem with smaller designs.
Unlike polyurethane inserts, which can wear out over time, this aluminum insert guarantees long-lasting and reliable function. The product has been successfully tested by Dutter-Racing and independent Audi/Volkswagen enthusiasts. Installation is uncomplicated and can be completed in just a few minutes.
