I'm making some too. 1" x 3" aluminum stock, Female threads on each end with a set screw to make a male side. Then slap everything together. Should be dirt cheap.

Pretty much the same. I machined down the ends to fit in the shifter base.

Whatever size the base bolts are, 10 or 12mm? I used slotted roll pins in whatever rise I wanted , sandwiched a washer on each side of the plastic base, sans rubber bushings, and a washer at the base of the stand. Possibly 5$ worth of hardware and zero fab. I raised it and cut the shifter hole bigger in the console, and made a boot to cover it.

extremely rigid and zero flex in the riser assembly. I also modified the leverage ratio on the side to side gate selector, reducing lateral distance between 1-3-5 etc. Longitude throw, I lengthened the bottom of a torque solutions shift lever.

I decided to loose the big muffler in the back for weight and aero. Made a cheap little pipe to replace with.

Make em so you can also put a muffler/resonator either there or in the test pipe area for those tracks that DO have noise restrictions (of which there seem to be more and more these days )

I want one of those tow hooks so I can quit replacing straps. But when a strap is $30 and that tow hook is $150...
LOL

Whats nice is the original muffler is slip fit so it takes about 5 minutes to swap if needed

Step up your game! Gotta get 12s and 335s!

Just curious... are you running a spacer up front in that pic? I'm surprised at how sunken the 11s look w/ those over fenders. I was considering getting them to fit my 12s.
