Default motor mounts

I have looked at the available mounts and they are all the best according to who is selling them. Real world input with aftermarket mounts is what I am looking for. Additional vibration is not really an issue, Which are the most functional? Not looking for opinions or sales attempts from vendors.

I am happy with Hinsons, much more stable without major increase in NVH. Together with Hinson diff mounts made a real difference in driveline stability and wheel hop reduction. I bought the shorter mount version.

I have AMT motor mounts on my car and I'm happy with them. https://amtmotorsport.com/ @Mark@AMT Motorsport

No issues such as header clearance with the shorter mounts?

No. I run stock manifolds. I believe the biggest benefit of shorter mounts is to get clearance for intake manifolds such as MSD. You can find many threads on this topic using search.

I had horrible wheel hop in my 2008 Z06 at the drag strip. It turned out the stock motor mounts were trash (cracked, torn). I replaced them with the Hinson mounts, and between those and the urethane mounts at the rear, wheel hop problem solved.

I've run the stock height Hinson mounts for years with no issues. Stock manifolds, 1-7/8" headers and 2" headers and now with turbo setup.

I'm getting ready to have 3/8 shorter Hinsons installed here soon. I'm having these installed to hopefully relieve a clearance issue I now have (and cant explain...) with my CATS hitting the tunnel plate. Recently had the old worn out OEM mounts (50K mi) replaced with new OEM mounts.

Ran short Hinson mounts for over a year for supercharger clearance. Worked very well. A little bit more NVH that I did end up getting tired of so put new stock mounts back.
