Default Do I need ESMM with DCRH?

I have heard from people that when installing a DC RaceHeader I would need to install the Energy Suspension MotorMounts. Is this true? Some say it will crack if I don;t install ESMM along with it. Then others say the Stainless steel won't crack?

So do I need it or not. I am looking into the Stainless steel DCRH.

either way ES MM's are a best bang for the buck mod. I had the DCRH w/o the esmm's for about a week, the rattling was too much for me. i went ahead and got them, saved me a lot more headaches, and further preventing the header from cracking. i'm not too sure about the ss one however, i had ceramic.


edit: just get the esmms' with or without rh the vibrations are a good trade off for what it does

it'll rattle and you'll probably damage the race header if you don't get the inserts.

A lot of people say that the ESMM are a great Bang for the buck, but they are a bitch to install. I think it woulkd take a shop at least a good 2-3 hours to install it which equals to about $150+. I can install I/H/E and other things except for taking apart the engine or moving the engine around. I really want to install the Nextgear IMG (Intake Manidolf Gasket) and the ESMM but the labor is gonna be a bitch to pay for. Anyone near MN with experience?

I am pretty sure the use of DCRH without ESMM voids the warrenty... so I would get them

If you mean the vibration when idle you can solve this by uppering the idle rpms !
