6MT Stock Shift Knob Weight

Does anyone know the weight of the stock shift knob for the 6MT? I see aftermarket knobs with weights ranging from 100g to >500g and I was curious to know what this is relative to the stock knob. I also don't have a short throw kit, so I am concerned that a >500g knob may be a little much.

I've been using a 400g Razo knob for many years and it's divine.
The stock knob is less than 1/2 the weight of the above mentioned Razo item - obviously not officially weighed.

Does it sit up higher than the stock knob?... and how did you keep the shift boot collar up against the knob?

It actually extends down further than the stock knob so there was no issue with the boot hanging lower. As for height, both are about equal.

I just weighed mine on my kitchen scale. Approximately 4.7 oz./137g. I have the Voodoo Titanium and love it. Crazy expensive though. I found a used one for $125!
