How long have you been using WMI and have you had any issues? We need some photos dude

I didn’t really expect much from driveshaft, i installed it same time as fluidampr pulley, under drive alt/water pulleys and i think the Shorai battery and removing trunk junk. I knew each of those individually would be so minimal I’d never “feel” anything, so wanted to see if a bunch of them combined could make a noticeable difference. I used to thoroughly test everything when i was NA using dragy. If i recall correctly all that combined dropped 0-60 a consistent .2-.3 seconds. My full NA build went from 7.8sec fastest time stock to 6.6sec not bad for an auto. Now it’s a solid 4.8sec.
The 1pc shaft “feels” similar to adding transmission mount inserts in terms of taking out some slop in the drivetrain. It added zero NVH up to 130mph (on closed course
) lol. Never gone faster but doubt it would add NVH even higher.
For most people it’s not worth it. For someone with a serious mod addiction it’s a must have... lol. I think my wife’s going to stage an intervention soon.
I’ll work on some better pics later.
WMI about 1 1/2yrs no issues. Added about 3degrees of timing, lots of cooling, and now combined with E40-45 my timing is the same as it would be with E85, but less stress on fuel system, better MPG, no cold start problems, less 1.5h round trips to the E85 station etc..
