Default b&m ripper = more noise vibrations?

I noticed after installing a B&M ripper that I can hear more noise and vibrations being transmitted through the shifter into the interior of the car. Mostly only hear it at low rpms. Anyone else noticed this?

Its pretty normal for aftermarket shifters. Did you put the rubber boots back on? Helps alot with the noise

Yeah I have the B&M shifter and it does the same thing. But it defiantly better than the long SOB stock shifter.

I put all the rubber boots and everything back in. I'll try to ignore it. The exhaust is pretty loud already...true duals out through flowmaster race mufflers.

Hey Jarret, why are you selling!!?

I can't even remember if there was more noise are not. Mine's been in for 11 years, so I would say that you will get used to it after a while and won't even notice it any more.
