I have the same shifter and you'll love it! Make sure to replace the shift linkage nut with a nylock and dont get it too tight or it will be hard to get into gears, especially 1st and reverse.

How was the install? Easy?
I'm think about doing it when I get my Anti-wheelhop kit in and my corsa exhaust.

It's much easier with the exhaust out of the way.

Mine is LOUD, I ripped apart the exhaust putting it on a trailer once. Now I'm buying electric cutouts to get the same effect.

Your rear O2 sensors need to be tuned out unless you don't mind seeing the CEL.

Yeah, that is fun. My neighbors hate me from just my B&B exhaust without cutouts. I set off alarms at 5:30 am while TRYING to be quiet.
