Verus CF driveshafts.

Simple question.

Need an honest review of the Verus CF driveshaft by those that have one installed with regard to Install difficulties, increase, if any, in NVH, and overall satisfaction with the unit.

Also for those using one with the IRP shifter. Have you had any issues with rubbing with both fitted.

Apparently there is a post here somewhere from someone mentioning the issue.

Thanks in advance.

With any aftermarket driveshaft, diff and subframe bushings cause a change in pinion angle and vibration at around 80 mph. Stock cars don't seem to have this issue.

I have the STi bushings (4 on the subframe and 2 in the back of the differential), same shape of stock ones.
Do you think I would suffer of vibrations from the driveshaft?

I had 2 that vibrated above 80 mph. I do have Whiteline differential, subframe, and transmission crossmember inserts, which may have influenced things.

Don't think so. I think it's the bushing inserts that do it. Not sure if replacement bushings do it.

I would look for the original design one. I have Whiteline transmission, subframe and diff inserts along with Torque solutions engine mounts. It is possibly causing a harmonic noise above 130 MPH. Can’t say I am worried about it I don’t get there at any of the tracks around here.
