Default which shifter???

Ok so i wanna get a short throw shifter for my Bullitt this summer. Which one should i get: Steeda Tri-ax, Pro 5.0, or The M&W Shifter? I've heard different reviews of all of them so help me decide k? Also will i have to update the tune on my Xcal 2 for the shifter? I don't think i do but maybe i'm wrong. Ok so everyone help me out.

Regretfully, this question has been asked and answered almost as much as which mufflers should I get for the "best" sound. Everyone will have a different opinion as to which Shifter is the "best". I have a Hurst and love it. Others have MGW and love them. Same for pro 5.0 and Steeda. The true answer to your question can be found by simply sitting in someones car and see which one you THINK is the "best" for you. Or, you can buy all of them, try each one and settle that way. Either way, ANYTHING is better than stock.

yes it is by far the quietest of them all. I still have the steeda tri-ax but will eventually buy the MGW. The design is amazing and I know George personally and they product line is top notch bar none. Not to mention is so many adjustments you can move it to your liking.

I would say MGW is probably the best from what I've heard. I have the Tri-Ax and love it, but eventually I'll end up getting the MGW shifter. Also, there is no need to adjust your tune when installing a shifter.
