Yeah I've looked at it both ways. Jacked it up in the drive way and just installed art pipes so when the car was up on the lift I got in there and checked it out real good. It only does it under load so I don't think its the shaft not being balanced. If I'm just coasting there is no ringing at high or low speeds but the second the clutch comes up there it is again. Is it just the aluminum? My s13 didn't make any noise with a one piece aluminum shaft. No one else has the ringing right? Or am I just paying too close attention to it lol and everyone else does have it. If I didn't just get art pipes and an uprev tune I'd consider a carbon shaft. I'll tinker with it and if I can't find a fix, the stock shaft is going back on.

Maybe haha. I like to drive windows down and no radio sometimes though. But yeah I'll prob just end up living with it because on second though I'd rather drive around with the ringing over trying to reinstall the stock one haha.

I see you have an aftermarket clutch, I'm guessing lw flywheel too. Could just be flywheel chatter being amplified by the ds
