Everything fits and bolts up; however, had to find some M10x1.25 head socket screw Allen bolts. The ones they sent where a different thread pattern. The center hanger is offset like stock and bolts up.

It fit like a glove, I just hope it doesn't set off any codes. These things has no movement front to back!

I know most evos pick up 2-3mph when switching to aluminum driveshafts. Should feel pretty good in acceleration

Yeah it's around 6.7 or so lbs, and super stiff. Should have little to no driveline lose.
