Default driveshaft noise?

at first i thought this noise was in my tranny, but now i think it is my driveshaft... does anyone else get this loud vibration noise in the low rpm's of fourth gear? i know people always talk about vibration at highway speeds, but never heard any complaints from people about this...just wondering.

how low rpms?
with your muffler it reduces the backpressure and should make the lugging noise/feeling a little higher in the rpm range (not sure when..like 800-1000 maybe?)
can you feel it> is it a vibration or a "lug lug lug lug" sound/feeling?

nah i know the "lug lug" sound you are talking about...maybe it is just that, but quieter....hmm im gonna have to go kinda bog fourth tomorrow, see if it is just that sound getting quieter. hopefully it is that because it is starting to worry me and i can't find anything that could be making the noise.
