What engine mounts? I'll go snap a couple pics of the CTS-V pan using BRP mounts

On second thought, when the engine comes back out of the car I'll put some pictures up. You can't get the CTS pan in without pulling the trans back or the engine off the mounts.

Mines almost done, I'm lowering mine 2.5" and needed to take the truck pan off to put on the CTS-V...will have pictures tonight:

What do I think, well, the ctsv pan back (its deepest point) is 6.75" deep. The LH8 (Hummer pan I believe) is 7.5" deep, and the stocker truck pan is 8.5" Just to get an inch more is great, but how low is your car? If it is low or goign lower, find the CTSV pan
