well for 1 the st185 hasnt got superstrut

it could be either gearbox mount or engine mounts , there is more than 1 .

stand next to engine and rev hard then back off , the engine should jump back and then lunge forwards , listen for the sound you hear from inside the car .you should be able to replicate it on standing still.

if it sounds like it's coming from underneath/rear of car then it'll be the rear diff mount :thumbsup:

Does it sound mechanical?

If I am on boost and suddenly lift off, I sometimes get a boom sound, which isn't a mechanical sound, and as far as I am aware is coming from the exhaust, as its an exhaust type of sound. If I was decatted, I would expect flames to be coming out the rear when it happens
