Northstar Performance motor mount

Post by NashvilleGXP243 »

Recently I was on Northstar Performance's site looking into a replacement motor mount. We all know the stock Northstar mount is a bad design. It's $189.00, and they have a lifetime warranty. It looks pretty rugged. Has anybody installed these on their GXP's? The book time for installation is 4.5 hours. What all is involved in installing this mount? Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

No one has because you can do it for $25 bucks with a trip to a sports store for some hockey pucks and then to the hardware store for the proper hardware.

The N* hockey puck mount is nearly the same procedure as the 3800 vehicles, and just as indestructible. No need for any warranties, and as mentioned above, you save a bunch of money!
