They are both good shifters and you will notice a big difference in your shifts.MGW seems to be the popular choice right now.

More people have the steeda over anything else but steeda is a more popular brand in general, so they are already in the advantage.

I have the MGW with a MGW composite **** and I love it. Not putting down the Steeda since I've never used one, but like Lance said, either one is a great improvement over stock. Here's a pic of mine...

i got me a hurst shifter for $100 and i like it...but i still want to get an MGW shifter...the height and the position its in is akward for the hurst (a lil too high and a lil too far forward) and the mgw looks like it is place right into ur and..springs where did you buy yours?..

ps....i need to get my synchros switched..still underwarrenty...so i need to take off the shifter and put the stock bak on so i dont void the warrenty w/ the aftermarket part...

Long headers? Are they street legal? I ask because I have heard that JBA headers mention that they can only be used for off-road stuff. I was wondering why?

Everyone has the shifter they like. I have a pro5.0 tower with the adjustable shifter handle sold on here. I must say, that i am really pleased with it so far. I wouldn't buy any other shifter unless it was given to me as this one works just fine.
