LSX Header / Engine Mount Problems

[dhpenner]

Okay so here is the problem. I love the look of the Doug Thorley LSX swap headers... But i dont like the price. I bought some stainless steel headers on ebay for around 200 shipped to Canada. They showed up and are beautiful, but they dont fit with my current setup. My first thought was to get rid of my CPP tubular mounts in favor of some ECE mounts. They look like they dont stick up as much. Then i saw a thread about adapter plates that move the engine back 2 inches. My engine is already in the back mounts (i think they are refered to as the 6 cylinder mounts... not sure)

My question is, What do you think i should do? I dont want to get rid of the headers, i think the cheapest solution would be to change out adapter plates. They'll run me around 100 bucks but they also move my engine back which will be a bonus for handling/balance etc...

Ive attached some pictures. The one with the blue tape is where the headers would be in relation to the mounts if they were moved back 2 inches.
