Default Solid Motor Mounts

Just installed the CS black solid mounts and was wondering if anyone else had additional noise as a result...it sounds like the exhaust is grounding on the frame somewhere but everything is free and clear.

If its normal I'll have to mod the stereo next.

I installed the black poly mounts and wrapped them in addition to using the shields. I will get back to it a little while later, thanks for the input guys...at least I know it is def something not normal and will keep looking. Shady...I will def look closely at the shields, makes total sense. Thanks again!!!
