motormounts I realize the only good way to fix The crazy y pipe banging with aftermarket systems are polly motormounts,and tranny mounts.How nescessary are they?The y pipe noise is Taken care of...but that motor and tranny flex quite a bit.If I stiffen those up,is it more likely that my car will flex easier at weak points,or should I be ok??I'v done 1.8 cranecams race rockers,complete mac system,and lid.and cranecams springs,retainers, pushrods.....Ttop too

I replaced both. It's an ordeal, but it's worth it. Haven't noticed any cons to them at all. Mine were both in bad shape anyway. I don't think you have enough mods to worry about twisting the body. I have SFC's on my T-Top car just in case though. I've always heard that's one of the first mods you should do.

It's worth it because the car feels completely different now. It really tightens up the front end. Drive a car with them and without them and you'll see what I mean. My motor is solid as a rock when I goose the throttle. Also, no banging from the X-pipes
I got the subframes from BMR. I went for the square tube because I don't care for lowering my car any. Price on those depends on which tubing and whether you want custom powdercoating or not. I got them welded in for $40.
