Increased road noise from aluminum driveshaft?

Had a powerhouse aluminum driveshaft installed in my car and noticed that I could clearly hear it rotating plus noise from the engine and tranny traveling into the car. Do others have this as well? It dosn't really bother me but I had the powerhouse V6 one in ym last car and don't remember hearign anything.

Another Spydershaft here, without noise. And for the record, my car is not lowered and only changes to my rear suspension are BMR tubular LCAs w/poly bushings, GMS Adjustable UCA w/poly bushings too. And my pinion angle is within specs (checked by Steeda).

Another Spydie shaft here. I noticed no increase in noise. For the record my suspension is still 100% stock.

I have been running the Powerhose driveshaft for two years with no noise or vibrations tested up to 168 MPH.
It is quieter than the OEM driveshaft as it never clunks.

Hey Uber...check the spelling on your brand of driveshaft. 168 mph...you win!!!
