Time for new motor mounts (set #3)

I guess I can't complain. 170K on the car.

Noticing a pronounced clunk when I let off the accelerator. Got them from the link HERE

Gonna poly fill them again. Minor vibration but they definitely lasted a lot longer than the first set.

Also replacing my cat. I can hear a piece rattling around.

Bummer . . . if they lasted another 2yrs we might finally have some decent aftermarket motor mount.

Do you have the Ingalls Stiffy yet? You might want to look at it. I'm feeling pretty confident that it'll help with motor mount longevity. And I think it'll allow you to retain a stock rear mount without having to poly fill it.

As for the cat, mine went awhile back and I tried the Random Technology direct bolt on, but after a little more than a year I switched to a Magnaflow cat. Not much better than the RT, but it was quieter and it had a higher CEL count, so that part made me feel more green.

Note, not long after the Cat went, the resonator and mufflers went. I think trash from the Cat failure may have been partly to blame. If you're looking for a nice looking Res at a nice price check these out.

I went with the AR25 as it match my custom pipe and Cat size. You can find them fairly cheap if you search on them.

As for the Cat, Excelerate had good prices.

Yeah ended up getting Walker cat. With the MIR and Advance coupon it ended up costing me ~$120. Not sure how much longer I'm gonna keep this car.
