Sadly when I purchased the pitch stop the other mounts hadn't been tested on the 15'. Sounds like a good marketing opportunity for a discount if you purchase all three at once.

Maybe you guys should develop matching engine and transmission mounts for this platform too then Only Perrin has aftermarket mounts, and I know of only one other vendor who is working on some.

I have mine torn apart right now and it has Perrin engine/pitch/transmission mounts so I took a peek. All is well but Scotty is right. The amount of weld/material on these is pretty shameful.

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the Group N the exact same as the factory part on 2015+ WRX and STI. Seemed silly to me to buy an aftermarket product that is identical to stock all the way down to the part number. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2714095 3rd post from the bottom I believe. Again I could be wrong. Just realized you were the original post Jobber... So can you explain why one would buy the Group M of its identical? Honest question.

http://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_201...1040FE000.html D1040FE000 is not the same as 41040FE000, I don't think you can just drop the first character from the part number and call it the same. |

IF subaru is even looking at this, its simply from the perspective of a popular aftermarket product damaging cars. it would be a good pr move and likely reduce overall warranty to reinforce this mount. |

Keep us posted on the repair and what Subaru has to say, Manley. I've been contemplating taking my BR mount out solely because of the NVH and I think this just convinced me. I didn't know firewall welds were an issue with Subaru's.

The fact that one solid mount was added only proves this further. That is not a vibration/fatigue-induced break, it is a shear tear from stress. Stress that any adequately designed mount ought to be able to handle.l Nope Always so elegant US. So elegant indeed |

this isnt gonna make me take out my group-n.. 95% likely this is people that drive their cars a little harder than most. I never launch from a stop and i never slam gears. (except for a couple logs here and there in the past..)

It seems that you're not too familiar with most of the WRX/STI demographic. If this was caused by hard driving we'd see it as much as spun bearings.

I think 95% of WRX owners drive their cars pretty hard lol. Welds shouldn't be breaking, that's very poor quality on Subaru's part. But I'm still waiting to see threads on broken welds using stock pitch stop.

nothing on the firewall should fail like this.....first, the welds for the pedal assy which is a HUGE safety issue that should have NEVER happened....and now THIS?????
this is purest bull**** on the part of FHI for VERY shoddy engineering and manufacturing |

Those aren't broken welds... that's... worse. I agree with Scotty, hopefully this doesn't happen to me, then again, always wanted an excuse to buy a welding machine.
There should definitely have extended warranty on garbage like this or perhaps even a recall, it's a safety issue. |

Thoughts on getting it reinforced before it goes?
