+1 When I make hard right turn, APS TT pipe rubs against my steering column... so I installed weapon-R, and it rubs less now.

You are looking at the picture, and there are several of us already using them with no problem.. So, why do you worry so much? All the necessary bolts comes with it... Just buy the darn thing already.

I looked at both the weapon R and Ingalls and even bought them both but was not crazy about putting that kind of load on the plenum or front timing case after trial fitment, I would feel better with solid or polyurethane engine mounts to keep the engine from rocking.

that's what I was afraid of, that it bolts on to som part that can't stand it. or that I don't have...
But solid motor mounts as well as polyurethane ones get's driving go a bit shakey, don't they?

well that is also what kept me from installing the solid mounts I had purchased but the feedback seems to be 50/50 some say they don't like the vibrations others say they don't feel any.

I might try the polyurethane ones, my main issue was to try to keep the exhaust from moving too much and causing cracks or loosening of bolts

Thanks for info
I've heard the same about solid mounts so maybe I'll goo for polyurethanne ones then.
Thinking that they who have vibrations maybe haven't done balancing in a rotating assambly?
I'm welding flex pipes into my Greddy Evo TT's, finishing it up tomorrow and in goes v-band fasteners (don't know it that's the term in english) as well

I've seen photos of the Stillen brace on the driver's side too.
Confused. I thought the intake would be in the way.

I had the Stillen, but like you said, it got in the way of the APS.. So I took it off..
Then My steering column was rubbing on the turbo.. So I took the bolt out, ground the flange, and welded the column to the Knuckle
You just have to be creative where it will fit..

At what power level do the stock motor mounts no longer support the added power from a boosted motor?
