Apologies man, the original post was a little vague and my assumption was wrong. Those are some pretty good runs with only the headers on there.

Spohn... nice ride! I checked out your journal, and saw your exhaust vid. What exhaust do you have on there? sounds nice!

congrats on the install, but you should have followed what I did and used a strap wrench on the shift knob.

I too have the nismo titanium and love it!

Yes i did use the strap wrench. The thing was on tight like no other.. I thought the strap wrench wouldnt tear the leather but it did.

Got pulled over. Forgot to stick the new registration sticker on the plate when I uncovered the car.
Doh.

Just did the shift knob exchange. I got the titanium nismo shift knob. I tried to be very careful not to mess up anything but ended up haveing the leather on the shift knob to rip off completely and my vice grip was over a towel but it still ripped through the towel and made a big scar.

The strap wrench is a different tool. It utilizes a heavy duty plastic handle with a heavy duty (slip-proof) rubber belt. This rubber belt is what contacts directly with your stock shift knob for removal. It should not have torn your shift knob leather if used correctly. A vice grip would definitely do that, even with gobs of towels/cloth.

If a strap wrench is what it sounds like youre describing I use it to get the oil filter off, pretty useful tool.
