For everyone complaining about the "vibration", with a proper tune of your car, they can adjust your idle, to where you have little to no vibration at all. RMM is almost a must in any FWD car you are trying to make power in. Such a great early on mod for the ST
nailed it.
Thanks for making this video. Good info in your commentary.
Ignore all the douchbag comments. I know it took planning and work to make this happen and I appreciate it.
Appreciate it man
I put the Cobb Motor mount at the same time I did the MBRP exhaust, I noticed the hook up was better and my quick shifts into 2nd were sharp and the Engine didn't hit the firewall anymore, it almost felt like I had a new clutch, I got a new I-phone 7 yesterday and the sales person had a 2014 Fiesta ST with the Cobb access port, we started talking cars and after the sale he let me take his car for a test drive he told me to drive it like I stole it it was pretty cool. Be safe. Fiesta Flash.
Finally! Been waiting for the much needed rmm install on your car. I'll be ordering mine soon. Love the videos man, great work
+Ryan hahaha thanks so much man! And this was a real easy installation. The only only hard part was the part I mentioned in the video. More coming soon!
The massage from the engine is a bonus feature.
I remember a couple of videos back there were a bunch of haters, one asking "Do you ever do your own work bro?"... and here you are putting in work, and the haters are nothing but ghosts LMAO
+Brian Pierce lol exactly! Screw them haha but about the console, it is stock bro the 15 st's and on have it
That camera blow tho 😂
Need some time to settle in. Vibration vil disappear after 2000-3000km.
i just put a fswerks front stress bar on my st and it helps wheel hop too.
a6500 fresh for sure man. The sky and them clouds, nice. I need to get something for my RMM soon.
If you want to reduce wheel hop, buy a front chassis brace from pierce motorsports. Youre welcome
Cesar M. Try these guys. American made and pretty badass.

I installed FSWERKS Rear Motor mount last year. it definitely makes a difference and yes there is a vibration, that's because there is a lot less give in the motor mount compared to the stock mount.
Thomas Whitmore did it get rid of the engine banging the firewall on shift from 1st to 2nd?
Never really had that problem. But what I noticed was the shifts were much more solid.
You got the sport or race mount? Im between those 2
+Arturo V I heard the sport is too aggressive
+Koriginal ST sport or you meant the race mount? On the fswerks site it states the race mount is ONLY for racing but its only like a 10 dollar diff between sport and race idk how stiff they are or how bad vibrations will be
I bought a 13' ST and just had to replace the clutch. I had the RMM replaced with the CPE stage 2. I had some vibrations. Then a rattle popped up. I jacked the car up and notice the main but and bolt had loosened up. With that tight, the vibrations feel stock. But, I feel the factory RMM is what causes all the clutch issues these cars have. Thanks for the test.
+focusforlife no problem dude and also just got a custom tune and the vibration is no more
Koriginal ST who's the tune from?
Just got my Cobb RMM in the mail yesterday. Putting it in this weekend. I'm sure my stock RMM is blown out. I'm gettin bad wheel hop in 2nd gear and the torque steer has gotten real bad too. Cant wait to see what it looks like when I pull it off the car
+Michael Williams damn sounds like it's gonna feel a lot better once you switch it! Haha
How did it look eventually?
I do like your videos. They have grown on me. This is a part that I want as well. I'm a 13 FoST with Cobb Stage 1. Not sure what to do next though.
joelml intercooler so you can go stage 2
I installed the cobb motor mount and then switched to the CPE motor mount and the two are night and day different! The CPE motor mount puts the power to the ground better then COBB and the vibrations are less! Also I had my idle changed with my Stratified tune.
+A Chavez really??? So it was worth the extra money?
Koriginal ST yes it was worth the extra money for sure! Like I said I originally started with the COBB and it was ok but then when I put more power to my car it wasn't doing it's job! The CPE is a two piece and the design takes away the vibration and allows more power to plant in the ground. I also have a custom tune running e85 and when they tuned my car they adjusted my idle to eliminate idle vibrations!
Yeah it's worth it because the design is much different the rubber is located in the arm that is closer to the engine and it makes a big difference. If you look at the OEM or the Cobb motor mount then look at the CPE you can see they put the rubber in different parts. Still though, the Cobb is better than OEM.
Do a real mod like LSD and traction control bars mounted to the frame rails. No wheel hop, no torque steer, and under 2.0 second 60ft's on street tires. 1 sure way to destroy your stock diff is letting one wheel spin and the other one grip. Luckily Ford puts in technology to apply brake pressure to the slipping wheel, it's only a band-aid. FWD can be fast if you do the right mods to support the power.
Can you please do a tow strap install video ! Enjoy your content lots
+Colton Rudolph will do bro
the mic sounded pretty good.
I LOVE SANDWICHES
Might want to make u torqued the stuff I got no vibrations at all
Yes things like this should ALWAYS be torqued to spec.
Did it eliminate shift bang?
Apologies if it was mentioned in the vid, I’m at work and can’t have the volume up 😅
watch the body between the ground, before it lifts more than after
Yeah, the front does seem to bounce around a bit more before adding the mount.
Should of turned of traction control
Good video. Nice comparison and honest feedback as always. Question: I have a 16 race red st. What did you do to your roof? Paint? Wrap? Did you do a video on it? Thanks!
If it doesn’t stop wheel hop and barely improves traction, then it’s not worth $150. Sorry, Cobb. I knew what I was getting into when I bought a FF turbocharged vehicle. If I wanted to pull from a dig, I’d have purchased something RWD or AWD.
Ofcourse its gonna have vibration. The engine is attached more securely to the car.
You'll find Tommy, Common Sense isn't that common on CZcams lol
Love your channel mate! Wish i could hang out with u guys as you seem to be cool ;) i also have 2013 Focus ST-3!unfortunately i live in the UK so it won't happen 😭😭😭
Raise your RPM to 900 and the vibration will get better with time and go away.
+Cecil Bermudez already got a custom tune and it's all better now
I just bought a 2013 st2 and i would love to have my speed on the guage cluster display. Is there a software update to make mine function like yours does?
+IMattisMeI no I don't think so. It's just a new gen update I guess. Even my buddy asks the same thing
does this stop wheel hop tho?
Here's my question, does it matter which company we get an upgraded motor mount from if they're all made from the same material?
+Lance Carreras I mean it could be all just brand name preference. But I like cobb products so I went with it. From what I'm hearing the cpe one is even better. But it's all what you feel comfortable spending you know?
Koriginal ST Cobb is a good company. Not saying you did this, but there wouldn't be a chance in hell I would pay a grand for a FMIC by Cobb and for half the price I can get (from my understanding) a better FMIC from Levels or FSWerks for legit HALF the price.
Lance Carreras the reason CPE works better because of their design is like no other and their kit replaces the motor mount and replaces the stock arm bracket!
FSWERKS Rear Motor Mount is a lot Beefier than the CPE or Cobb, though the Cobb is prettier. lol!!
+A Chavez hmmm is there a way I could just buy the arm bracket? I'm sure that's why its better!
What exaust are you running?
goood video could you show installation ive never worked on a car and your videos show alot vs others :)
godcore223 there are literally 347289573892 other places on the internet that tell you how.....
lol but his iis always great detail
What type of spoiler do you have on your car?
Seems dope 👌
great camera overall, picture is good and sound quality is good.
I've been debating the rmm for the past month or so. been reading a lot on the st forum and so many people are complaining about the little vibration. on a scale of 1-10 what would you say it's at. 10 being an older zx3 and 1 being stock st?
+dominic quinn I know I love it! But I was also worried ha. But hmm initially I would have to say like a 3 or 4. And I'm sure once it breaks in it'll go down to a 2. Its not that bad at all honestly. Driving feels a lot better and I heard a tune could help with the take off vibration
Right on, once I get my plugs and intercooler in I'll go with a custom, but I need that rmm first. Looks like I will be going with cobb stage one package after all. Thanks a lot man!
+dominic quinn your welcome! I'm positive you'll love it!
great vid. camera is def better. on the fence because of the vibrations but if you're getting better transitions I'm down.
+patrick soler Thanks! Yeah vibrations are just at take off. I almost stalled twice because of it! It feels different ha
Turn off ESC entirely and try again.
+Abendschein I forgot too! I usually drive that way!. What's the difference?
Abendschein you should try with the Cobb ots launch control. It's in the tune adjustments I have mine set to 6 and it feels just right.
When you launch you keep traction on or off?
+Mr. ST man both. I'm not sure which way is better
It really depends on the weather if it is damp or icey outside i absolutely do not use traction control. If it is normal outside i would still not use it but if it is a low rpm TC shouldn't restrict your launch too much
Yoh Koriginal ST, I wanna order the Cobb RMM this coming week. But in the installation video from CJ's they used a torque wrench. Did you use it as well and does it ruin the ride of the car if one overtighten the nuts on the brace when you tighten it all up again?
Would be killer to hear your thoughts man...and keep posting 'em videos. You got a lot of folk in Africa liking your content.
+Frikkie Coetzee yes I used a torque wrench for all the bolts man! It seemed like a hassle but it actually wasn't ha
Thanks man, I was worried about that torque wrench. But it is so difficult to get a torque wrench where I live. I have drive 120 miles to get a mechanic who has one in Windhoek (capital). Possibly.
Thanks for always replying, much respect for that brother. The sun went down so it is time for a couple of brewskis. Keep well bro
ah the mic is amazing wow! ur my hero and more
should of when with the cpe stage 2 rmm way better. more vibration but over is better
+mrvcisneros1 I know after I posted this video a bunch of people are telling me this.. lol a little too late
the only "difference" I notice is that the wheel looses traction quicker than stock... in stock it seems to be getting better traction.
Better mounts = better delivery of torque
What up man how's it going just picked up a 17 st question is it normal to have a ticking on passenger side at idle ?
Jorge Cruz I got the same problem ford service dept. says its normal
Yeah i got the same issue sounds almost like a heat shield rattle at times, for told me its normal operation
I've done a bit of research on this and apparently it's the injector noise for Ecoboost engines. Totally normal.
its the injectors completely normal
I just picked up a 15, same here
I'd like to know how you got the digital speed as well. Thanks in advance!
15+ have them stock
The answer is NO. I put the cobb on my RS and it didnt make even the tiniest bit of difference. Same mount. It still hops so bad it feels like the fucking cars going to break. Going to put on the passenger side and trans mount, and if that doesnt work? Well I got fucking dupped.
Its placebo, you WANT it to be better because of all the work out in, and money wasted. Trust me I get it. But its not worth it at least with just 1 mount.
It was made to stop the motor from flexing backwards and hitting your firewall. Idk about wheel hop. I think you just got it for the wrong reasons.
I'll give you my opinion on this for whatever it's worth. Firstly, the motor mounts are never going to solve problems with wheel hop because it's not what causes wheel hop. The motor mounts just keep the motor in place so it gets rid of that hard thunk that you feel sometimes when shifting aggressively or down shifting. I know there are a lot of guys on focusst.org saying that the motor mounts fix this wheel hop issue.They are wrong. What causes wheel hop is the constant back and forth change between the tires getting grip and the tires losing grip due to changes in the toe that occur when power is being put to the ground.
You could go with wider and stickier tires to prevent loss of grip but this is just increasing your acceleration threshold giving the illusion that the problem is fixed. Change out the suspension arms to some more rigid arms and the bushings to nylon or polyurethane. This will 100% solve the problem. I unfortunately don't know if anyone even makes after market suspension arms/bushings for the ST though. I have a 2016 Focust ST so believe me I am looking but like I said stickier and wider tires are an acceptable alternative.
Xeridae can LSD help eleminate wheel hop?
Are you gonna get new wheels?
+SCUG really want to but I'll have to wait on it. For sure some lowering springs!
For sure!
This makes no sense. It's like someone saying they'll put shin guards to bench press better 😂
Do you have a snapchat?! I would like to see snaps if you do any while working on your car. I have a 13' MBRP race downpipe, Eibach sway bars, Agency Power triple tip exhaust, Mishimoto Cold Air, Vortech Intercooler w/ mbrp pipes, COBB rmm, and Dead Head Motorsports custom e30 tune. New turbo and stage3 clutch in the works.
Can i ask you what brand are your mud flaps please.
+Eric7 rally armor bro
Koriginal ST cheers 🥂
does it get rid of the oem loud bang between 1st and 2nd gear?
I hate that sound every damn time I stop a stop sign
@@Pandoroxify i think you're just putting the clutch in too late lol
It looked worse after...
good vid but u had me at vibration
+totallyrad77 really?? It's not bad at all dude. And i heard one it breaks in can't even feel it
Hey, I have a 14 St, how do you get the digital speed on the dash screen?
16' ST here, you can use the arrows on your steering wheel to navigate menus to display. idk if that's how yours works though. good luck!
Trevor McClellan my friend has a 15, and he has it. It's just not there for me
Yeah, I don't think it's on the 2014 model.
I know you asked months ago but depending on the model 14 you have there is a way to go about this. If you have a model with navigation theres a way to take out the sd card and load something on to it for that specific dash speedo. There are also several other things you can do. Check the forums
i went with cobb cause its cobb u noe, my man.
Cobb mount makes your car ride like shit. Get the electric Focus RMM. Much better of a ride with no noise from the mount.
what about the mountune RMM? is it less Stiff than cobb
his st has the electric RMM original in.
the 13´ STs has a much softer RMM
Without: 1:42
With: 8:08
Dude you have serious crack in your trany 4:25 You need to fix that 1st
Should be leaking. Doubt its a crack
That isn't a crack - looks like it's from the casting, or a removable case or something.
This Channel is dead spent all that money to just get rid of it 🤦🏻♂️
Sold all the parts almost for what I paid. And with all the CZcams money break even. It was a good time man. Can't complain
Koriginal ST bro ur car was hella nice. What car did u trade it for and why quit CZcams bro
Koriginal ST you need to reply to your viewer
A motor mount doesn’t reduce wheel hop it only helps with vibration so I have no idea what your talking about wheel hop can be reduced with better suspension
on the focus ST the only thing that stops the motor tilting backwards and pulling the gearbox and sub frame with it is the rear mount and the stock ones are fucking awful the motor literally smashes into the firewall
You sounds dumb as shit do some research before pulling info out of your asshole for the Focus ST the Rear Motor mount Eliminates wheel hop
The original motor mount it's better quality than that cheap Cobb plastic motor mount, so you got more vibration with new installation it defeats the purpose.
The COBB mount is billet aluminum and has a stiffer bushing. I love how guys like you do 0 research and then comment out of assumption. Lol.
lol cheap plastic?? Solid Mounts are not for the Casual driver...if you make decent power Solid mounts are a must. This mount works amazing! 2010 MazdaSpeed3 - 12.32@112Mph bolt ons tuned by Nishan.
I read it makes vibration when first install but over time it goes away
