Default New noise after poly mounts & TSP headers.

Just installed the above along with spohn motor mount pedestals!
Videos included it says to torque the big bolt to 70lb ft but the mount started to bend! possibly over torqued? I just did the other bolts as tight as I could because of lack of room.



Noise is from low speeds and setting off! no noise laterally when coming in and out of turns. Anyone else had something similar?

Just had a look under the car and the driver side header is right on the k member, it sounds like a creaking door! I'm hoping dropping the header down a bit & getting a dremel in there to cut the lip off the k member will cure it because surely poly mounts wouldn't make a noise like that, would they?

Good to hear you already found the problem. The dremel with reinforced cut-off wheel will solve your clearance/noise issue.
No, the poly engine mounts shouldn't be causing ANY noise.
