I finally had time to install my new WS2 and B&M s.s. . Short shifter worked great until I installed the PITA catback system. After tightening every nuts and bolts, I've noticed that the catback piping is touching the bottom end of the short shifter. :smt013 This made shifting almost imposible. From the pics below looks like I need to lower the hangers to compensate the longer bottom end of the shifter to clear the midpipe. Car is still up in the jackstands so if anyone got any ideas to solve this it would be great to hear them.

grind the bottom of the shifter with a dremel

 

me and my cousin ran into same problem. his setup: short shifter + apexi ws gen1 in a eg hatch.

Drove his car to a muffler shop ( drove with the rubbing on the way there), shop extended the hangers so that the exhaust b pipe clears the shift linkage. Now its perfect!
