UUC is the only game in town. $430 is the capitalism free market CTS-V tax at work. It is what it is. We have to be happy that anyone even makes the off the wall crap for our cars.

Once you are out of warranty, it's a no brainer.

I'm VERY HAPPY with mine.

Word.

If the price came from Luke at Lindsay 99% chance that it is the best price available and 100% chance of great service and speed.

On the subject of motor mounts : are they difficult to install? The service manual calls for the cats to be removed. Anyone do it without removing cats?

You will also have to account for the compressed height MM. I believe Lindsay's early mounts were too tall and wouldn't work IIRC.

Looks like there's a **** ton of room in there. If you can do them on an f-body, you can do them 1 handed and blindfolded on the V.

I wouldn't say its that easy. May have to take the headers off if I recall someone else had to. I had the whole motor out and back in. Did mine at that time.
