Getting some new parts...

Opinions and suggestions welcome.


-steeda tri-ax shifter (t-45) from lms http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...itt-Shift-****

-plug in mil eliminators from lms http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...-O2-Simulators

-bbk o/r x from am http://www.americanmuscle.com/bbk-of...pe-9904gt.html


I would like to know if any of yall have had any personal experience with any of these products. I have a 2000 gt 5spd. I have the am brand short throw shifter, which is awful, definatley looking for something smoother..

Also have a mac catback, im looking for loud and aggressive, but not annoying..


Any suggestions , or personal experience with any of these products would be awesome.

Have a good Christmas !!

I have a Steeda shifter and I like it. It works well for me. That being said . . . if I had to choose again (and not for any aesthetic purposes) I would probably select a MGW shifter. Great quality and smooth shifts . . . a little smoother that the Steeda, but the Steeda is a great shifter too.

I can't speak to the other products, but here are a couple clips featuring your proposed exhaust set up.

I saw the mgw, it looks really nice and adjustable. But which shifter is only made in batches? Can't remember.

My friend has a steeda tri-ax, its a very nice shifter. I bought a pro 5.0 so we could compare, the tri-ax is definitely better. I can't speak for your other items you wanna get.

Prochamber flows better than "H" pipe.

Good call on the MGW. I have had both and I like the MGW considerably more then the Steeda.

Alright the h pipe came in today..

lifted my car, thinking this was going to be an easy upgrade WRONG

sprayed the bolts with some wd40 and let it sit for an hour or so, got the deep swivel socket (15mm) got to the bolts and for the life of me couldn't get them off!! No matter how hard i tried they wouldn't budge!!! The fit was snug on the 15mm swivel socket and it wasn't bent at any weird angles....


My question is: What do I do know? I obviously cant have a shop do it for me, because they wont. And i cannot get them loose!!

any tips, pointers or advice would be really appreciated...

I am just at a complete lost.
