I have the exact same issue but only after 120. Scared the devil out of me.
That's when mine vibrates for a couple of seconds. I would change to a Mark Williams 2 piece if it didn't cost a fortune.

I have a OEM Redeye 2 piece I'm putting on the Hellcat.

If I'm not mistaken in 2018 all the driveshafts and axles are the same? Could be wrong.

My thought on all the imbalance of the aluminum shaft i think is installation. In the trans they fit real tight why they are a pain to get them out. If it isn't in all the way or tilted a little bit I could see the bolts still going in and causing a vibration. Saw the same thing with the late model mustang
No. Was fine for 20k miles and happened suddenly. Removed inspected and no damage.

So yours happened later which could be something else. Most say there is a vibration after install

Don't know about 2018 but the shaft I have is the same as 2019 Redeye which is the same as a 2018 Demon.

It's cheaper to have 1 unit than try and figure out 2-3 different types at the factory. That's my opinion.

Deleted because it was a pic of my flipping it off, never again with DSS. Here, just laid it down. Comes with both mating plates and hardware
