It's a good idea to do the motor mounts now since you are in there. I wish mine were replaced when I did all my mods. Now I'll have to pay someone or rip everything apart to do them! Not sure exactly what is necessary to do the motor mounts, but I know it's no 20 min job.

Read any thread about banging Y pipes... Stock motor mounts are very soft and allow the engine to move to the point where the exhaust hits under the car. the proper way to correct it is to get poly or solid motor mounts. Many people decide its not worth it to do motor mounts... most learn afterwards when their headers and y pipes bang all the time their mistake. Its a lot easier to change them with the headers out too so it only makes sense.
