Default Getting an apn header,should i get new motor mounts???

Hey guys got my tax return back and im gonna order a apn header as my stocker is cracked,gonna swap my 99+intake on as well. Should i order new motor mounts,i'll be mad if the header cracks after i put it on. Also if i have to buy new mounts which ones should i go with? Dont want anymore vibes then i already have.

I would replace them if they are bad or cracked,I would replace with some good poly mounts.

Ironman makes some nice looking motor mounts and is a vendor. Also Brown Dog Industries makes some nice ones as well. What I like about Brown Dog is they are rubber bushings not poly but not your typical rubber that will wear out in a few years. Me I would go ahead and replace them for sure. It can be a pain to replace them with the motor in but patience and a good floor jack along with an extra hand and it can easily be done.

Hmmm after looking at brown dog they seem fairly cheap for a great looking and nicely built motor mount. Any of you guys have input on vibes after mount installs?
