Default Spyder driveshaft install

Just installed my Spyder driveshaft & it went in & works great. It is as smooth as silk & the car feels 300 lbs. lighter. I have an auto & I only took it out for a 10 min ride, hit 90 a couple of times with no vibes & it is much quieter over bumps & stuff.

It made much more difference than my UDP pulleys. Car just goes easier. They say its worth .2 in the quarter mile which is pretty big.

I just had one question on the install. Spyders directions said to remove the tunnel brace, I didn't have one. Is there not one on the verts or did Ford forget to install mine.
