6MT Motor Mounts

About one month ago my car was making some clunking noises from the engine bay, so i brought it into the dealer to get it checked out under my extended warranty. They said i needed new motor mounts all around , my car has 75,000 miles and i do drive hard. Now about a month later i bring the car back in for the same noise and indeed it is the motor mounts lol they said this is gonna be the last time they install new motor mounts cause they suspect i am abusing the car LMAO. I dont launch or anything just sometimes like to chirp my gears. So my question is if the mounts break again which they proably will (my driving) is it possible i can buy innovative motor mounts and still not avoid my warranty??
P.S. I just bought my car two month's ago and already went through two set of mounts lol these factory mounts cant take abuse for shi*!!!

If you are under warranty, then fight to have them keep replacing them.

If you are out of warranty, then go innovative or wait for a new player to be announced soon by Excelerate.

Damn you do abuse your car lol I've had mine for 1 1/2 years with no problem.

Either way, if you got warranty they should be replacing them without question

I would say you sound like you abuse your car. Either that or you live in an area where the rubber hits the road a little bit too hard. Upon reflection, it sounds like you handle your car with abandon as they say.
But your having fun with it, but it has its consequences. How old are you?

I've had my car new since 06 I can only recount my own experience...And I "chirp" "sometimes" as you say.

Only until recently (last month) am I even considering replacing the motor mounts & I've had the car 3 years and no audible sound is telling me to replace the mounts...If you look down at the mounts you can see them going...BUT I have not changed them since owning the car. Only thing Ive constantly had to replace is tires

Something tells me your abusing the car too much...maybe "sometimes" is not an accurate description for how often...couldn't say...try putting the power down to the ground instead? =)

In any case...Ive read some of your other posts...sounds like you're enjoying the TL

I'm 21 i only launched my car when i went to track but that was before the new motor mounts, after that i stopped launching my car cause cause i didn't want to break anything. I sometimes drive hard (once or twice a week) lol but don't think it's gonna cause the mounts to break. So far so good.
