I got a B&M one. A short shifter is one of the best things ive ever done to the car, lol. It made such a big difference, you'll never be able to go back

Lous short stick with a Hurst shifter. It's so nice. Can be a little notchy at times, but that is expected.

Got the same thing fordeater. Works like a charm. Take 2 helped me out a few weeks back when I almost had a wreck and he was there (before we officially met) He was lookin at the Lou short stick and was thinkin how the hell did I get the shifter so short! I will never go back to a regular shifter.
Or you could just cut it too... | |

I am planning on getting a Pro 5.0, but I haven't decided on if I should get a LSS or not. Is the stock stick on the Pro 5.0 really that big? Cause if I do get a LSS I don't want my shifter to be pretty much inside the shift boot.
Anyone have pics of the pro 5.0 with LSS and ones without?? | |

The 2nd Gen B&M's come with a 1 piece stick that's pretty short as is....
The older 1st Gen B&M's had a 2-piece stick that you could replace with an LSS, but the result is about the same (the LSS adds a bit more angle to it though)
I've had just about every shifter combo you could imagine in my T/A (B&M 1 & 2, Kirban, Hurst Comp, Hust Billet, etc., etc., etc.) and the best by far is the Power Tower + LSS + Hurst Leather "H" knob 
The Power Tower (Pro 5.0) has the highest pivot point of all the aftermarket shifters, so even though the stick may not sit the lowest in the console, it gives you the shortest throw possible
