yeah i sort of skimmed thru that article and it didn't look too bad but i wasn't sure. i used his instructions to install my CAI and they were pretty good so i'll probably give it a shot.

Ya it is really easy. Glad you are getting the tri-ax instead of the 5.0. Good choice!

If you buy your tri-ax from me, I'll give you free shipping and a free shifter gasket, PM me if you do decide to jump on this.

Rob is going to throw in the shifter gasket.... I would strongly suggest that. The short-throw shifters are very noisy and the gaskets do help quiet down the ruckus some.

Just remember, Smokedya, the creator of that how-to, used to be (and perhaps still is) an Admin of this very site. He wont steer you wrong. |

why is it that the short throws make so much noise? And how much more is it than stock, is it really noticeable? |

The reason why it is louder is because the Tri-Ax takes out all of the rubber noise insulators.
It's not really that much louder.... and if you have the radio on at all, you wont even hear it. |

The only difficult thing for me was that I scraped up my knuckles a bit cuz I didn't have sufficient wrench extensions.

I have had a B&M ripper and a tri ax, and have drove with off brands as well as the pro 5.0
get the triax if you dont mind a little noise, not bad really.. and alot of the noise is from the little ring you install over the shifter base... i would just leave it out, but the noise aint bad really.... its got a nice firm shift, nice and springy, and the handle isnt so short that its a pain for every day driving.
