Here is my MWC k-member mild steel weight of 22lbs. I believe when I ordered I asked them if they made a turbo style k-member and they said this one would clear 5" downpipe anyways.

A new k member. Lol. If you're keeping stock a arms it'd be smart to replace the bushings while its out

I don't need different mounts?

I just always see the listings with/without mounts pinto racks etc.. Not sure what it all means if it changes anything.
I always thought i needed more than just the k for some reason.

If you buy a new one you can get it how you want. They're setup for how you want.

MWC k-member comes standard with the engine stands built into it. All you would need is the motor mounts themselves. Basically swap the clam shell assembly over. I have polyurethane mounts on mine they are like $75 I think. You can re-use your stock power steering rack and lower a-arms also. Like posted above if you keep the stock a-arms its a good time to check/replace bushings as needed.

I have always liked the look of the MWC because its light and cheap and the Racecraft K-member. I have spohn tubular soild mounts and they will bolt up to the Racecraft (only one that will AFAIK, maybe the PA i'm not sure).

I ordered mine from PA and really like it. Also ordered it with the removable center so I can drop the pan without pulling the motor.

BMR also has good products. Nice job fellas at DH 15, your camaro was def. repping your product nicely!

I have a bmr on the way here... a couple buddies of mine run their turbo k member also which prompted my decision. All seem like great choices though. My only question, im not trying to detract from mwc, however they claim 5" downpipe will fit. Is this on the driverside? I know bmr will fit a 5" on the driverside for those wanting to keep a/c or for packaging reasons. I could not find any pictures to verify so that is why i ask. Thank you

lol **** that ****. you clearly think differently than i do... i don't think anyone should have to go hunting for pics. if i was in the business of selling crap and a potential customer wanted big pictures, i'd skip my lunch one day and get him big pictures. if someone else wants to go dig for that thread and re-post MWC pics here, i'd appreciate it. but i'm a lazy shopper.

Why don't you try going to their website or do you expect someone to bring you one to your house and let you see it and examine it without ever getting off the couch?

the mild steel only weighs 22lbs eh? why would I pay an extra hundred for the Chromoly when I am told it weighs 20 lbs with mounts. I would have expected it to be alot lighter than the mild steel. hopefully i am getting my info mixed up somewhere.

No schmuck I was giving a option for people who don't want to wait and see if they post again.

Some people will look for answers and others want to be spoon fed everything.
