Heat Exchanger and motor mount question

I've got a 2013 E550 with the M278 and was wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with aftermarket heat exchangers? I've got my car finally tuned to Stage 2 by Eurocharged and have a custom exhaust along with the UPD air filter spacers. I plan on doing a trans tune in the spring and have been eying up either a DTK Heat Exchanger or the Alpha performance heat exchangers. Also Eurocharged let me know that my motor mounts are starting to get a bit sloppy so I was wondering how hard it is to replace the motor mounts myself?

Oof, yea I might just suck it up and pay a shop to do it. Not something I probably want to do in the garage on the floor haha

Mounts aren't hard. Read up and have a plan. Heat exchangers are a good thing.
