Dont you have an '02? Those dont come with EGR. Take the header off and take it to shop and have them weld up the hole

Heck, you may not even need to take the header off... My cheap *** heddman hedder did the same thing, and a buddy of mine just welded it right up for me in a couple of minutes. I just wouldn't drive around on it; you should probably get an exhaust repair kit that has aluminum tape and a strip of tin with a clamp to cover the hole, which will hold just long enough to get it to the nearest shop.

thin gauge metal, which also makes it hell to reweld too lol... Yeah it sucks, especially when you don't even need the egr provisions lol By the way, mine was on the driver side, i'm not sure how much room you have on the passenger side for someone to wield the welder. But i'm thinking you'll be ok.

Same thing happen on my old SS. This time I had the emmisions fittings cut and welded shut before I installed them.

I would go with stock mounts. Unless you don't mind more engine vibration from the poly's

Get poly's and be done with it. I really don't know where this whole poly's will vibrate like crazy thing came from...they don't. Hell I've even used solids before and didn't notice much difference.
