I personally have the M1 Abrams in gunmetal. If you are looking for weighted shift knob, these are the heaviest that I know of. http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftkn...shiftknobs.php

HI guys, thanks for the responses.

I find majority of aftermarket knobs just a simple BALL….

does anyone know whether the EVO X knob is compatible with the EVO IX?

Damn, I was eyeballing that a while back and totally forgot about it. Ended up going with Blackline brushed titanium.

Still ended up with a great shift knob though, really contrasts the interior of the car. Can't go wrong there either, OP!

Does the weight of the shift knob really change how shifting gears feels?

If you are not looking for a simple "ball" check the other ones TWM makes http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/?__utma...utmk=166492158

Titanium shift knobs aren't heavy at all! I also don't recommend buying from that company. Feel free to PM me if you have any q's why.

Nah bad idea…

the EVO X is a 5 speed….

The IX has 6 speed… so it be odd with a different knob.

oh well, back to square one.

I have an extension and knob from him. Being able to purchase a knob customized exactly the way you want, and in the material you want, is the best thing in my opinion. Why settle for pre-made sizes/shapes/colors/etc, when you can have what you really want?

A local subie buddy turned me on to these guys as well. I ordered a bead blasted ~1lb stainless sphere to compliment the works SS going in this spring.
