hey everyone,
Was exchanging pm's with LG earlier.. svo shifter vs ripshifter for the T5, what you guys would choose, what you have, why, pros, cons, anything really.. basically a curiosity question. Svo is cheaper, and is said to do the same thing, why go Ripshifter? anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, Matt |

Can't say I've used either, although I keep hearing good stuff on the Rip Shifter.
I went a Mal Wood one and I can't say that it's that much different.

SVO one comes with warranty. And is local for me in Melbourne. Being Mick Webb, I think he knows what he's on about. Also have spoken to a T5 owner who rates it.
I'm guessing the RIP Shifter would come with a warranty too. RIP Shifters are out of stock at the moment, so if they don't get any soon, I'll definately be going the SVO one. Not sure at the moment. I think i'll just go the SVO one, no matter what.

The SVO Shifter, has the spring loaded, (like the RIP shifter), so 2-3 is practically straight. But with both shifters (I guess), over time, the metal spring will become a bit loose, and not spring as much as it first would. The RIP Shifter is probably better designed than the SVO..
I suppose it's the same with exhausts. Theres a redback, lukey, herrod, jmm, but they're all pretty much the same thing. Where is there an agent for RIP Shifter in Melbourne? Instead of paying for postage from NSW. Herrod SureShift - ~$550 RIP Shifter - ~$500 SVO Shifter - ~$425 Billet Shifter - ~$400 I need mine, fairly soon, so I think i will get the SVO one. Thanks

I have thanks. The reason i was asking, was because if they are made in Melbourne, there's no real point in me getting them from a supplier (Aussie Car) in NSW, as i live in Melb.
Anyway, I need one by the end of January/early February.
