glad you like it, you know if these are universal on subaurs? or are they sti only?

this thread reminds me, i need to fix my knob. it spins freeely and i cant get it off... very annoying.

[sticop]

they make one for the 5spd and for the 6spd tranny. im pretty sure that the 5spd works with any 5spd tranny

delron?

i bought the STI titanium knob and love the heavier weight and the perfect sphere, however this thing is almost too cold to touch in the winter.

Is this think like a plastic? I dont want freezing anymore and i have been looking at this online for a while now

yep delron is a high quality polymer. withstands heat, cold and chemicals. I wanted to get the kartboy knob but with today being 1degree im glad that i didnt have a metal knob!

Wow you ended up getting that!! Jeez that thing was $60!! For a shift knob!! Erich have you lost your marbles!!

[sticop]

yes i have... next time i see you youll have to check it out

[Evoeater]

Well arent you here? lol

[Evoeater]

I looks huge? Is it comfortable I still cant picture paying that for a shift knob..But it wont fade like the stock one..well not fade but the stitching is turning black and the plastic piece at the top went form chrome around it to just the silver plastic...

[sticop]

its also 2x the weight. clicks nicely when shifting fast

I like the momo leather and titanium one but that one is freaking $85..What makes them soo expesive!! Blah

[sticop]

latheworks has some hybrid ones that are over 120 bucks. its the labor

[Evoeater]

Cobb looks to be the cheapest...It looks too plain though..I wish they put a little more detail into it..I love cobb products..

[method]

I have this one, the one you posted looks nice though:

crap... 60 is cheap... i spent much more then that on the STI... i probably shouldnt wasted it!!!

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION!



How cold does it get? I mean during the winter is it like the other metal ones you just cant touch because you will stick to it?

[Murphy2012]

I have two polymer knobs and love them. They dont get hot at all in the summer, still get cold in the winter, but nothing like the stock leather one or especially a metal. I paid 35 for both of mine, but they dont say Cobb!

[Evoeater]

I tried out his cobb knob this morning and it decent..I cant tell a difference in throw..It was freezing when I grabbed it but it still was cold..It still looks too plain to me..But it does feel solid though..

it was -2 when I got out of work this morning at 0300. Yeah the knob was a little cold but... it was -2... at soon as the car warmed up and I got the heat going the knob was just fine, not unbearable at all

[Murphy2012]

Polymer rocks my socks off!

[adam]

I bought this.... and it is FREAKING COLD... but the weight is real nice
