I can't provide any input on fitement but I'm curious why you are buying solid mount motor mounts? You building a drag only car?

way down the road it will be close to one, but no.
only ones I found with all around positive feedback others were saying pain in the a$$ but got them in or had to put a ding in the what he said was his headers. (dont know what he had long, short, equal)
thier also 50 vs. 100$ for poly's
Do you really need'em to move or do they move that much I don't know.
Getting feedback...

I was going to get long tubes would have been nice.
Still can but just put in long H pipe for shorts.
I know I should have gotten headers first but had a leak at the cat. so went with that first.
also was looking at all the reviews, not much clearance pain in the butt and not that much differance in HP or Performance.

There's a pretty solid difference in performance with LTs, especially when you really upgrade down the road... And it's not that hard to install on a fox if you have some mechanical ability.. Takes me about 45-60 mins.. First timer, maybe 2 hours..

AkMustang,

Looks like you've already been given the correct information from out fellow forum member. Shorty's will definitely increase the sound and performance and are a lot easier to install the long tubes. But with the more difficult install comes more power and sound then the shorty's.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions! We really appreciate your business and loyalty.

-Dan
