For the motor mounts I have found the Meyle ones are the closest to original in appearance and performance.

Dennis, I actually already have the full GW exhaust. Ive installed everything except the 2&4 header. Simply ran out of time a few weeks ago when I did the rest of it. Figured Id save it for when I do the Motor mounts. It really is a great system, big fan.
