Mods finally done: LPP LT + Duals, Solid MM, LS6 After 3 days of work, I finally got LPP long tubes, LPP duals, solid motor mounts, and LS6 intake manifold(painted white) installed. Deleted EGR and AIR(emissions stuff).
Car definitely pulls A LOT harder now.
The exhaust is not too loud unless you're really on the throttle or above 2500RPM or so. The tone is very very very deep... I love it!!!
The vibrations from the motor mounts are nothing unbearable, most of the time they actually feel pretty cool unless you let the RPMs drop a lot when first taking off in 1st gear(<900rpm).

clearance is I believe a bit less than a coke can at the lowest point, they can DEFINITELY be tucked up higher, but I didn't bother too much because I'm gonna be taking my car to ARH and letting them extend it to the rear, and at the same time I'll tell them to give me as much clearance as possible.
You do have to get your own hangers though(weird that they don't supply them like TSP dooes), but maybe they do now since I got one of the first kits. I just went and bought these leather hangers from autozone and followed a similar installation route such as TSP duals(drilling behind the rear seats)

you should have got on it alot more and not shifted so soon, it seemed like you were scared to make some noise... the free rev sounded good though, and it seems like you can keep it quiet or be loud depending on your mood, that's kinda how my bassani td's are, i love that... hey about those solid mounts, from the pics it looks like they are longer than the factory mounts/pedestals... do they mount the motor up higher??... seems like that could create hood clearance problems or change the drivetrain geometry... i have poly mounts in mine, i have no experience with solids i'm just curious... nice car though

I just did a bunch of searching on these. I am officially going to buy a set. It may take a little extra work to make them to the 2 inch kooks, but I think it'll be nice for $1000 total shipped to my house for a monster set of stainless headers and true duals. I'll never need another exhaust again.

If not, i just bought two of these(5 dollars from autozone) and screwed them behind the rear seats(at the time I purchased the duals, they did provide two clamps with "L" brackets welded onto them, just nowhere to actually hang them onto)
