Default Poly motor mount drivers side only???????

I am thinking of putting in a poly mount on the drivers side only.
This should get rid of my y pipe banging problem.
less work doing only one side.
What do you guys think of this???

I have to agree with them about putting both in, but people run with just one all the time. It's easier to remove the headers, install the mounts, and put them back in than it is to do them with headers in place.

I ran around with poly driver's side and rubber passenger side for several months, and noticed no difference once I got the pass side done. Motor was just as solid with just the driver's side done, but I feel better having a matching set now. Definitely take the headers off to do it.

I did only the driver's side but wish I would have done both sides.

Do both. You will get frustrated trying to figure out how to get the driver's side on, but once you figure it out, the passenger side actually took me a 1/4 of the time to finish compared to the driver side.
