Solid Engine Mount
Do you guys think I have to remove all the Vortech piping to change the engine mount?

Engine sits in same position
Sentry, I agree - no major vibrations like you sometimes experience in other cars with solid mounts.

Actually its not really vibration, just engine noise transmitted from the heads.

I have had no issues with or complaints about my solid motor mounts.
I love them and think the performance is great!

someone just came out with some polyurethane mounts, but they have a stupid price tag of about $500.

I have read that the drop of the engine prevents use of the GT spec brace, is the brace that it blocks the lower front tie brace?

What is the point of using these? Sorry if it's been discussed.

these replace the softer mounts and make the engine and body of the car 1, so it makes everything more solid and and responsive.
but which GT spec brace does it block by dropping the engine a 1/4th", and do all of them drop the engine?
