Are you looking to enhance the performance and driving experience of your 2009 Audi S5 4.2l? One of the most impactful upgrades you can make is replacing your factory engine mounts. Introducing the 034Motorsport Density Line Engine Mounts, engineered specifically for the B8 Audi S5 and RS5 4.2L FSI V8 models. These mounts are designed to provide a significant improvement in drivetrain responsiveness and overall vehicle dynamics without compromising daily driving comfort.
The Advantage of Density Line Engine Mounts for Your 2009 Audi S5 4.2L
The factory engine mounts in your 2009 Audi S5 are designed with comfort in mind, often resulting in excessive engine movement, especially under spirited driving conditions. This movement, known as drivetrain slop, can lead to delayed throttle response, less precise shifting, and even wheel hop. 034Motorsport Density Line Engine Mounts address these issues head-on.
Street Density: The Ideal Balance for Performance and Comfort
034Motorsport Street Density Engine Mounts are crafted from 65 durometer rubber, a substantial upgrade from the softer 45 durometer rubber found in the original 2009 Audi S5 mounts. Crucially, these Density Line mounts are void-free and solid-filled. This optimized design dramatically increases stiffness compared to the stock mounts, effectively minimizing engine movement. Despite this enhanced stiffness, the engineers at 034Motorsport have meticulously ensured that there is no significant increase in noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) transmitted into the cabin. The mount bodies themselves are constructed from high-quality cast aluminum using OEM-grade production techniques, guaranteeing durability and precise fitment for your 2009 Audi S5 4.2L.
The result of installing 034Motorsport Street Density Engine Mounts in your 2009 Audi S5 4.2L is transformative. You’ll immediately notice reduced drivetrain slop, leading to crisper, more direct shifting and minimized wheel hop during hard acceleration. Furthermore, the solid rubber, void-free, and fluid-free design of these mounts eliminates the common problem of leakage and collapse that plagues factory mounts over time, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability for your Audi S5. These are not just inserts or modifications to the factory mounts; they are a complete, re-engineered performance solution specifically designed for your vehicle. Extensive testing by 034Motorsport, JH Motorsports, and Audi enthusiasts alike has validated their superior performance and durability.

Why High-Durometer Rubber Excels Over Polyurethane in Your 2009 Audi S5 Engine Mount Upgrade
034Motorsport chooses high-durometer rubber over polyurethane for Density Line Mounts due to rubber’s inherent advantages as a damping material, particularly crucial for your 2009 Audi S5. While polyurethane might be a cheaper alternative, rubber offers superior performance and longevity in engine mount applications.
Rubber effectively manages stress under both tension and compression, whereas polyurethane primarily relies on compression for damping. Rubber also excels in shear stress scenarios, common in engine mounts during vehicle articulation, where polyurethane is less effective. Importantly, rubber resists packing and wear far better than polyurethane. This translates to a longer lifespan and consistent performance for your 2009 Audi S5 engine mounts, ensuring lasting improvements in handling and responsiveness. Density Line Mounts provide a durable and reliable upgrade, outperforming polyurethane options in the long run.
Lifetime Warranty: Confidence in Quality for Your 2009 Audi S5 Upgrade
034Motorsport stands behind the quality of Density Line Engine Mounts with a Lifetime Warranty. This warranty underscores the confidence in the engineering and manufacturing of these mounts, providing you with peace of mind for your 2009 Audi S5 4.2L upgrade.
