Corsa wins all exhaust polls, Hurst wins the shifter polls. That doesn't mean Corsa or Hurst is better, just that more forum members like them. (Disclaimer, I have Corsa and Hurst on my 96).

I was scared away from the Ripper by all the rattling stories posted here. I've never seen a single beef from a Hurst owner, speaks volumes to me. Best bet is to try both and choose (disclaimer, I purchased the Hurst without any idea how it would work out, what can I say, I'm just a member of the herd :) )

I've had both the B&M Ripper, and the Hurst. I LOVED the ripper, but wasnt able to shift as quickly, being that the shifts are so firm. I have the Hurst now. The Hurst is much more conservative, and should have been the factory shifter to begin with. This is one modification that REALLY depends on personal taste.

B&M claims the ripper reduces throw by 40% and let me tell you it does. Granted the Ripper isn't for the weak armed but as far as not being able to shift fast, now way. It took a week for my foot to finally cath up with my arm.
Happy Hunting

If you don't mind losing the reverse lockout, Hurst.

If you want to keep the reverse lockout feature, the Kurt White.

Like others have said, what each person prefers is subjective.

Actually, B&M's statement is confusing. The Ripper reduces the throw to 40% of stock. That's a 60% decrease in throw.
