Default Need some input....

I was unsure which section to put this in.....


I just got my safety/emissions done by a buddy. Had him check out some floor board vibration that has been increasing over the last 2 weeks. Found out my headers are hitting the floor board due to the motor mounts going bad...

Well my current exhaust set up has been on my car since 75k miles / 3 years ago, Im currently at 95k miles.

Im trying to save a little bit of money due to i just spent 1300 on wheels and tires, 800 on rear end and new gears, and 300 on new tune = 2400.00

Im for sure going to do solid motor mounts (200.00ish from thunderracing.com) the labor is around 4 hours. When i talked to Andy at redline he said he may hv to remove the headers for clearance to get the mounts on. My current flowtech headers are definitely showing there age (surface rust, gaskets have a few leaks etc) what im thinking about is salvaging the flowtechs, add new gaskets and switch from the magnaflow and go with true duals....

Option A- New motor mounts, clean up headers, add true duals

Option B- New motor mounts, New headers, and true duals

Option C- New motor mounts, and (Your guys opinions!)

Get polyureathene (SPELLING OWNS ME) motor mounts, pacesetter LT's and TSP TD's. That will be about your cheapest route.
