Engine mounts

So I've been wanting to go catless on my 550i and possibly stage 2 but I know that engine mounts become an issue, does anyone know of any upgrades engine mounts that can take the power increase of a stage 2 tune?

I know for the N55 engine there are aluminum inserts you can put into the stick mounts to make it stiffer… Not sure if they have them for the V8. I think it was Turner motorsports that make then for the N55.

Hey bro Im sorry I must be getting old, lol. I went to turner and looked up N55 inserts, N55 mounts for the F10, and no luck finding these aluminum insert. Do you have a link for them or could it be they got discontinued?

Here's what I was seeing. Doesn't look like that one works for the V8. I haven't researched too hard for one that would work.

Hey man sorry for the late response but they've been so tough to look for given the issue most n63/TU owners have been having but I'll definitely look into those to see if I can find anything
