How hard will it be to replace the motor mounts?? I have Jethot lt's, mufflex y-pipe, hooker catback. Just wondering a time estimate b/c I have heard it is harder with lt's installed. Also are there some good aftermarket mounts that are better than stock if so where can I get them. Thanks later

 

Energy suspension sells poly motor mounts that are better than stock as far as strength goes. You'll get more vibration though.

You'll probably have to disconnect your headers from the rest of the exhaust, remove the through bolt from your motor mounts and either jack the motor up or lift it with a cherry picker. After that you should have enough room to get in there and get the old mounts out. I don't think it will be all that easy, but I've never had to do it.

 

I have moroso SOLID motor mounts ... the install was rather easy, the pass side is a little hard to work with but over all it took about 2 hours with a friend

 

did you have to disconnect your headers. Damn if so this is going to blow b/c I have stage 8 locking bolts grrrr

 

How do you like those solid motor mounts?

 

i installed prothane mounts on my 99z and could feel NO added vibration.

 

I don't know how hard it will be with the headers in there. I went to ES poly mounts when I installed the headers. It was a piece of cake then, and I felt a whole-hell-of-alot of vibration. The car felt like it was going to shake apart.............but I think that had something to do with open headers.....

 

I really don't see how people think that relatively stock cars are bad with poly mounts. I put the poly mounts in mine, and its got a big cammed 383, and I noticed it at first, but now I can hardly even tell during 99% of driving. For the 1% where I am sitting at a stop light and it gets down to idle and starts to lope pretty hard, I can tell that the car is shaking a little, but before all this engine work it was really transparent.

 

I have Moroso solid mounts with Hooker LT's. Install wasnt bad actually. driver side is a piece of cake. 20 min and it was changed. The passenger side is a bit of a pain but all together it took me just over an hour to swap them both out.

 

What would any of you guys recommend for a daily driver that goes drag racing often? Solid or poly mount? Thanks.

 

daily driver.... go with the poly. They are sort of in the midle of stock and solid.
