If your using the mounts your good to go.
Does this apply for 2018-up?
The 18's still require the mounts, but since the front end is alot lower than the 15-17s, there may need to be slight modification to the underside of the hood as well.
Mounts are required? I was looking into the Cobra jet setup but I don't want to do mounts because of long tube headers and the fact it would skyrocket an installation cost. I was thinking about just cutting the hood instead. Is that not possible with the 18+? Or is it not recommended to cut the hood?
Depending on how much you're planning on cutting, I don't think you could get away with it without cutting a hole in the hood honestly. Most people I know that have done the install just use the mounts to get the clearance or get a cowl hood.
This was on a 16 and wondering if the 18 would be just as easy:
The main issue with the 2018 is the hood sits a little bit lower since the whole front end is slightly lower from the 15-17. You may have a bit more difficult time to deal with it than this gentleman did.
The only other option aside from full mounts is the mount bracket that attaches to the block. BMR makes drop brackets that will drop the engine down on the actual motor mount. It's one or the other. Or k-member spacers, but that's it's own endeavor ;]
You will need the mounts. They aren't expensive and they are quick and easy to install. This is what we had to do on my buddy's '18. He has long tubes as well and are not an issue with the mounts. No need to cut the hood.
