You'll spend more time doing the mounts with the headers in, than you would by pulling out the whole exhaust system and reinstalling it.

Beating the hell out of your exhaust system is another way to fix it.

i had solid. Then i got a BMR kmember and was forced to go poly since that's the only way you can do it with the kmember (without fabrication/motor plates/other stuff). I would go back to solid if i could, but there is not TOO much of a difference.

The unibody flexing won't have anything to do with the motor mounts bolted to the K-member. I think you need to get some SFC's regardless, I could really feel a difference when mine went on.

Some people can handle it, some people don't care, and some people can't stand it.

I voted poly/poly because it's what I have.
It went from wheel hop to smooth as butter. Well, the launch is smooth as butter but I kinda shake in my seat. Chicks dig the vibrator seats!

I have solid motor mounts, and a 1LE trans mount. I had the prothane trans mount, and it was rediculous inside the car. I am going to use the 1LE till it breaks, then re-install the poly. With the solids, it's not too bad, but you can feel it. ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
I'm pretty sure most of mine is clutch chatter.

I had way too much vibration with a poly tranny mount so I switched back to stock on the tranny. Poly engine mounts are great - no noticeable vibration and much firmer engine mount (no longer banging the Y-pipe).
Poly motor mounts are so firm that I don't see any reason to use solid.
