I just installed my Voodoo knob today and wow! shifting is soooo sweet now! a very highly recommended mod. personally, I think the Titanium knob is a bit ridiculous and high-priced, esp. since it's not using the Ti in an application it excels at, namely being a strong but light metal. the Aluminum knob looks great IMO and is significantly cheaper.

get yourself a countersunk Al knob if you haven't bought one yet. for the $s spent, the satisfaction level is way up there.

the only advantage of ti (other than looks[subjective])) is that al scratches like a mofo.

ti is heavier so the shift feel is different than al, it also is slower to gain / lose temp.

Ti is just cool (figuratively and actually). If they could make the entire car out of it, that'd be fine by me. And skip the paint.

If you can find one, get it. I didn't think there could be a shorter throw for this shifter, but it is
