This is something I used to put my mount in. It is a writeup a member of the board posted. Whoever you are...thanks

I only installed the drivers side. I did it while the headers were being done. No banging and I have some really close spots. Make sure you have a good drill. Drill press is even better.

I have a big cam now and still no banging when the motor shakes.

I installed the prothane mounts on both sides. The engine doesn't move nearly as much, and it fixed my y-pipe bang. It did cause a knock sensor code every once in a while, so you may need to think about tuning the knock sensor or desensitizing it with a resisitance circuit. I don' tknow if installing only one side will cure this or not. Good luck.
