It may be time for me to upgrade shifters... but i actually like the stock shifter throws. however, i had a kartboy in both of my subarus and they were awesome. plus tom is great to do business with.....

 

at least get the bushings, it gets rid of the sloppiness. I do love the whole set-up though.

 

i got the kartboy exhaust hangers, shifter bushings, short shifter

 

i got the exhaust hangers but they hurt me more than helped, i think its becuase my downpipe is putting torque on the catback so its throwing it off alighment or something, maybe thats why they aren't doing anything good for me. i might get the short shifter, how is it compared to the B&M?

 

Kartboy products are nop notch. Used all of them on my old subaru and was very pleased.

What exactly is the point of the exhaust hangers? Most aftermarket systems are a lot lighter than the stock system. The stock rubber exhaust hangers should be more than enough to support any aftermarket system, right?

Also, do you know how much the Kartboy shift knob weighs? I'm looking for something heavy: I had a stainless steel knob from UUC Motorwerkes in my old BMW track car and I loved the feel of the extra mass.

the exhaust hangers keep the exhaust from swinging back and forth. alot of downpipes rattle - with the hangers, most of the rattle is gone.

the shifter is pretty heavy. i had the mitsu aluminum knob and there is a big difference in weight and size.

 

Anyone know the part # to the stock pivot cup by any chance? Kartboy didnt have them in stock.

 

so anybody have any comparison of the kartboy SS, compared to the B&M SS?

 

Tom,


When will 6-speed products be available? I'd love to do the bushings in my MR.
