Why would you need motor mounts for this setup?
Thanks!

From a performance aspect, all setups should have stiffer-than-stock motor mounts. This allows the engine to move less (or not at all), which results in less wheel-hop and, typically, better traction.

That and even with my 'stiffy' my header is hitting the underside of my car on hard shifts. I can avoid it mostly, but it will end badly if you add more power into the mix.

That and even with my 'stiffy' my header is hitting the underside of my car on hard shifts. I can avoid it mostly, but it will end badly if you add more power into the mix.

The reason that happens is because the 'stiffy' torque damper simply replaces one mount and makes it a solid mount, leaving the remaining mounts OEM. This will put more stress on the remaining mounts, specifically the front mount and tranny mount, wearing out the rubber faster. Works for a little while though.

The adapter plate and all the bolts that were also listed as backorder came in 3days. still waiting on the manifold and I think they are working on getting a new site up so I'm not sure if they are updating the stock status at the moment.

I love when things come in faster than expected! Congrats
