I have no reason to believe that if you vehicle was level more fluid would come out of an automatic. We didn't lose any with this vehicle.

I haven't noticed an increase in vibration. Must note that he car is overwhelmingly loud (Borla UEL and Perrin unresonated / uncatted the rest of the way), and that could have taken away from my ability to notice a change with the driveshaft. Come to think of it, the vehicle had a stock header when it was installed. Didn't notice much of a difference as far as NVH.

Also the weight difference between the two is around half(as stated)
I just calculated it(I'm working out my own personal weight loss regime for my car atm - I'm bored):
STOCK: 11.181035kg
CF DSS: 5.599032kg
We definitely zeroed out the scale with the plank on there.
