Any 6 speed guys have this? If so, what are your impressions? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on this, but want to hear from someone who has it already on a 6 speed. I know a bunch of the SMG guys say they wouldn't drive without it.
I also know that beyond 100, the stock diff walks it. I'm not interested in 100+, more interested in increase of torque.
Thanks for the help!
And I would probably go with Dinan over Evosport simply because of the "piece of mind" warranty factor.

You don't like the Dinan diff?
Was there a noticeable increase in performance?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe since both change the gearing from 3.62 to 3.91, they should offer identical performance gains, but Dinan has the warranty.... Why would I go with Evo if they're the same except for the Dinan warranty?

There are still complaints about the Dinan diff making noise. I had mine changed out once and the new one still makes a little noise. I have never heard anyone talk of noise coming from an Evo diff. Evo will not warranty their diff?

They might, but I feel like I can deal with a little whine for less hassle. Evo is on the west coast and there's a Dinan dealer a little over an hour from me.
Do you think it's worth it? Can you tell a big difference in burst of acceleration? Would you still recommend it? Thanks for the help Tjav...

It does help for driveability around town but to me its not worth the money. It has also never been proven to increase performance. I think your money could be better spent towards an exhaust system (ASR) or headers. If I could do it all over again, I would not do it.
