Ordered and on the way. I think ill just cut the center off before inserting it. Seems to be the best combo. Great thread.
Oh my goodness. Quite honestly, this has given me the best return on investment I've made to my car.
That said, I didn't simply purchase and install. I didn't completely follow suit with the modification. Instead of cutting off the center section or drilling a hole in the center of it. I decided to cut out a square in the middle of the center section. I left approximately 5/8" on both "sides" (where the lip ends) and approximately 17/32" on both ends.
I don't have anything to compare it with, but this is exactly how it should have been from the factory. There is a slight vibration @ around 2800 rpm. Definitely not anything to make headlines with. The slop plus gone. Again, my favorite addition to date.
