    Hey guys my funds are a little short and I believe I need to replace some mounts because I think I can here my downpipe hitting at wot throttle shifts. Which should I get first: the upper mounts, lower motor mount, or trans mount? And will solid rubber mounts be fine or go with polys? And can someone explain the "vibration" a bit about the polys?
    current mods: DIY FWI, res & u-bend delete, SD headers mated with custom 3in downpipe, 2.5in catback with turbomax muffler, autolite 104s, 180 t-stat, poly mounts, can tune, 3.4 mps
    soon to be mods: NIC cam, possibly dna springs

    if you are getting headers.. hold off on getting any mounts just yet. Depending on what headers you get, you may want mounts that push the motor back or forward.

    I'm assuming if your downpipe is hitting that you have an aftermarkdet pipe or headers?

    Free: take a look at the center of your sway bar, does the point aim up or down? If up, remove the endlinks, and center bushings, take the bar out, flip it over so that the point aims down and reinstall it. TIP: lowering the subframe 2-3 inches in the back will help you get the center bushing bolts much easier and get the bar in and out.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    yes i have a zzp 3in downpipe and i'm going to headers and a custom made downpipe for em so like darkhorizon said, i think i might hold off to see how the fitment goes. i think i might do the sway bar mod just to allow more clearance any way.
