Well, dang. Only took me one second to realize the problem with the shifter... The damn y-pipe runs directly below the shift linkage and the shifter arm is physically hitting the pipe on anything past OD. Looks like I will have to shorten the arm on the shift linkage and redrill a hole for the shift rod and readjust it all up... Damnit!!!

God dang aftermarket parts... ALWAYS. Not a note about it in the directions of course. I put a call into Thorley just to see what they say.

If you look at my first picture and the shift linkage, you will see EXACTLY what I am talking about.
