Default I finally have my car back

I picked up my car yesterday afternoon. I put about 60 miles on it and it is what I expected. I ended up with a two piece G-force driveshaft. I can feel a ton more NVH because of the mounts/bushings. It feels like a different car. It feels old actually. Especially comparing it to my ATS. The good news is I launched it at about 2500 rpm and there is no wheel hop. I used to get massive wheel hop at 1500 rpm launch and on the 1-2 shift. I would have to let it roll and floor it in order to not have any wheel hop before. I haven't noticed any.

Overall I am happy with the way it turned out the only thing I wish for is that the NVH be the same as before. The guys at Speed INC did a great job with the install and if you are close to them I would suggest you contact them first. I think they were reasonably priced and they know what they are doing. From what I seen they do lots of V2's and the few times I went there they always had a different V2 wagon sitting on the driveway.

Did I miss something? What'd you have done, just the DS? And what's NVH?

Has the car been there since you originally dropped it off? That's nearly the entire summer!

Yup it's been there since May. Not their fault. Had a problem with DSS.

I did CS motor, trans, diff mount, Rev shift Cradle bushings, DSS axles, tune, and Gforce driveshaft.

Noise, vibration, and harshness.
