Cause damn, I got one from enjuku sometime back and installed the other day. Got around to driving my car 10-15 miles today and that thing makes a whole lot of racket.

Especially on decel, it vibrates and buzzes something, sounds like my shifter but its not. Its just really fookin loud, and I was wondering what yours was like.

Its not out of balance, so dont suggest that, its just......maybe not even worth it.

new200guy hit it on the nail "How do you know its not out of balance"

Last time I checked enjuku got their driveshafts from The Driveshaft Shop. If you do a search on NICO you'll read a bunch of horror stories of driveshafts from The Driveshaft Shop being out of balance and making lots of noises.

because if it were out of balance, it would show under acceleration as well as decel.

its smooth as a babies bottom everywhere except for decel in gear.
