You can justify it anyway you want but I've seen it so many times here it's not funny. (you're putting coilpacks where the CC was???)
I'm not slapping you it's your car to do with as you please.
All of the little things you remove cost a FORTUNE to put right it's usually a fairly easy fix in the first place but people still remove all of the features that make our cars great.
Universal joints don't rotate in circles they spin in figure 8's and at a certain length/speed this becomes "Critical"
the stronger built the shaft the longer it will last at this speed/load, aluminium in use work hardens and eventually will fail with stress fractures so while it dampens...
Most shafts will have a cardboard tube inside to dampen out noise, sometimes they have rubber.
The issue really isn't the noise it's having a shaft go above the critical speed
and how long it will last if sustained.
Here is a perfect example of what can happen. :(
Gary: Awesome thanks for the vids!
A couple of questions
a) It doesn't seem to generate much tire heat on burnouts?
b) What was the popping at the top end on the fist run?
(sounded almost like antilag had kicked back in)
If i don't fit my undertray I see + 5>8c temps here cruising at Highway speeds and while in my case it's not even close to running hot in a car with marginal cooling ie: (Blocked rad, debris in the AC Con, dirty scaled block) it would be enough to tip you into overheating...
