Ecoboost Noise Dampers

[Anthony@HTM]

After being under the car for a bit I noticed 4 odd items on the subframe. Two cast black square pieces that bolt into the rear diff cover. And also two silver egg shaped items that bolt to the top of the subframe.

I spoke with Kelly from BMR and the GTs do not have this. Next time I have the car up I'll probably go ahead and remove them and get a weight. Has anyone removed these yet?

Interesting. Please report back when you figure out the weight.

My cobra's IRS had a counterweight or something hanging off the diff from the front mounts from the factory with some bushing between it and the subframe and the diff mounting flanges. That thing must have weighed 15 lbs or more. It went away when I installed solid diff mounts.

I wonder if it's something similar. Wonder by only the EB so far seems to have it?

IF I have a chance I'll try to pull them off this week and get some weights on them!

 

[Anthony@HTM]

They are out, they weigh 11.8lbs bolts and all.

They come out very easily. Just need a 13mm ratchet

Thank you for reporting back about that.

Notice any difference in how it drives?

No problem, no change at all.

so odd...maybe they are counter weights for the diff? no changes in vibration or noise then hitting bumps?

anyway, I saw in another thread you are getting ready for a track day? How is the build going?

thanks!

Was it a Performance Pack EcoBoost? If it was maybe thats why and the GT was a standard GT not a PP.. Maybe?

Nope no difference at all.

Very well!

I think I may start a build thread soon, track day is the Sunday and the car is just about ready!

After talking with BMR their standard GT and PP GT both don't have these. Yes my car is a pp EB.

Nevertheless this is an odd part!

Don't appear to be on my GT w/20 inch wheel option. Wonder about the V6's?

Crazy....

Surprised there isn't more input in here about others who have them..

Yeah I was surprised that I was the first on here to mention it.
