DAMN $475 for a shifter... I know MGW makes quality products but WOW that's expensive.. I cant believe how much more expensive everything seems to be for these S550's... Even Mufflers are double of what they used to cost for the 11-14 5.0's..I think I will just hold out for a used one to come up I guess.

I think it is a great price! and the exhaust it is exactly the same as what a 11-14 catback would be. When more companies start coming out with axle backs it will be different
I could see this easily going for a few hundred dollars more. I happy with the price tag. This shifter is pretty impressive.
My thoughts exactly.I'm the exact opposite, I think it's a bargain. But I've been dealing with the manufacturing side of the aftermarket for over a decade, so I know what it takes to bring products to market.
Considering I paid 400 for my 2014 shifter and this one has all the linkage and a complete mounting system also for 463. I think it's a steal. Yea you can buy cheaper shifters but that's what they are. Cheaper products.

Seriously? I paid $380 for my Barton and 2 post bracket on my '12. This one is only $100 more and replaces every part of the shifter not just the upper assembly.
I think it's a fair price. Normal, direct mounted shifters cost ~$190 with only the stick and plate. The race spec includes those, a housing, spring & reverse shift plate, mounting linkage, support arms, shift linkages with machined cup, sound deadening, HAZMAT and a couple tools. So yeah, I think it's worth the extra coin. I just blame Ford for using remote mounted shifters and MT-82 instead of a Tremec.
How hard do you have to now push down to get into reverse? About the same as the 11-14's? Also, how do you connect the shifter boot back to the knob/handle after you pull the reverse ring off? Any photos of that?
