In reply to solfly :
Group N mount, while significantly stiffer than the OEM, is still made of rubber and is therefore still compliant. I haven't heard of anybody having motor mount issues with running just the crossmember mount bushing. I've ran it for I believe almost 10,000 miles now and no issues. I feel it getting more compliant though, it's definitely not as stiff as it was when I first installed it.
With that being said if you wanted to, you can also do the Group N motor mounts and the Group N pitch stop mount if you're concerned. They're not that expensive and should take a day's worth of work and a few beers.

Nice to see a positive Subaru thread. Usually it's about head gasket problems, the sound of the engine, oil consumption etc. I personally love them and have had 5 so far, all trouble free. Looking forward to the new WRX and hoping we get a manual in the Forester XT again in the future.
I thought the head gaskets problems are on cars that are more than 10-years old or more?
If they have an EL header, they don't really sound any different than a normal 4-banger. The STi and older WRX's had the weird "warble" to the exhaust because of the unequal-length headers they had to use to make everything fit.
"Just wanted to update you that your WRX is at the Port! So it should be here in the next week or so!
I’m available via Phone or Email so please feel free to reach out directly."
Glad I went for the 21 and didn't wait for a 22!
