Installing some Stainless Works headers on my TV'S car next weekend not sure if I want to upgrade with solid or urethane mounts. Car is 75% street and 25% dragstrip driven, I don't mind a little nvh (subjective I know) but I don't want to feel like I'm cruising around in a promod on the street. Any opinions or suggestions would be great appreciated.

I have the Prothane Motor Mounts... Slight vibration at idle, but most of mine comes from my full 3" Kooks exhaust.

nvh is it[/QUOTE

Don't do it.
They come with the KB kit and the NVH noise along with the rasp/Tinny sound from the headers(SW)has spoiled the experience of the 3.2/ 8 rib on my newly built block/GT 350 heads.
I am going to try one more exhaust combo -adding resonators to my H pipe (GT 500 axle backs ) but if that does not do it I am going back to stock manifolds(or GT 359 manifolds if I pcan get them)
I have tried with cats and catless /X-pipe with resonators/Gubson muffler but so far sound better with the catless /non resonated H pipe except for tinny sound /rasp that seems now at the muffler (instead off coming from where the old resonators on the mid pipe -right below the seat)

I however suspect a lot the noise is NVH from the mounts.
If it is still bad -if I end up with stock manifold/)I am likely going to sell it (I was hoping before to hold off selling until the next GT 500)

I get a bit of a vibration from the solid mounts but it's not that bad.
