Ebay pacesetter knockoffs. . . . Finally on order, shipped today. My question is this. My cars a 96 with 115000 miles. Will it be absolutely necessary to install new motor mounts? I know with some it supposedly is, but is it also that big of a deal with the p.s. or the knockoffs? Ive got everything else I need (gaskets, bolts, OTVC kit, etc). Opinions or people who have done it?

i didnt need to on a 94 with 120k.. probably wouldnt have been a bad idea while they could have been easily replaced but wasnt really needed at the time.

Thanks for the info, guys, and yeah, those are the ones I won. Noone else bid so I got'em for that. Claims Ypipe is included but looks to me like ussually only with buy it now. The auction I bid on was for headers and Y, and free tips with buy it now. Letya know the deal whenever I get them. And sorry if none of this makes sense. Doped up on concoction of thera-flu and nyquil

Double check your mounting holes before you get too deep. I had to drill mine out a little on #1 and on #5 I had to use a 7/16" header bolt instead of the 10mm bolts that came with it. Also make sure you tie back your ignition wires to keep from burnin' on your new pipes...

I'll let you guys know when my buddy and I end up putting them on this spring. I'm currently up at college right now while the car sits in my parent's garage

That's a bummer. I had to grind off the head of the 5th bolt back on the drivers side exh. manifold, it was soo rusted I couldn't even get a socket on it. Don't forget to remove your dipstick and starter if you have the stock one in it, I have a mini starter so that didn't have to come out. There's is also a Temp sending unit on d.s. head you might want to remove so you don't shatter it like I did taking off the stock manifold. Remove your oil filter also. BTW the exhaust hanger bracket on the Y-pipe didn't even come close to lining up where the stock one went...
