I have heard mine make a little noise form time to time and that's only when the radio was down all the way and I was entering a driveway at a angle on all occassions. I heard and somewhat felt it but my friends didn't that was standing right there. I do have very little wheel hop when making a somewhat tight turn. Which is to be expected with all diffs. Defiantly the best mod you can have.


Clutch-type diffs got a bad rep because on noisy, clunky ones like the Nismo piece...they aren't all bad.

Thing is, the more aggressive the lock-up (good for hard driving), the more obnoxious they are in slow driving. The OSG is a great compromise between the two

I've never have noticed anything during slow driving though. It only locks during hard braking.

yep, they did a pretty good job ensuring the clutch engagement is smooth. you won't hear much on it, at least in my experience...unless you are doing a fully lock turn in a parking lot or something....
