Bump sound under high load shifting

I just got an ACT clutch and Flywheel installed and its feels great. However since the clutch has so much grip it now transfers so much torque that it flexes the drive shaft up the hit the car's under Carriage. Does any one else have this problem? if so what are your fixes or should I fix it at all? I saw this on lancer shop but I dont really want to spend that much money. any one who has this problem let figure out how we can solve this.

Here is the AMS fix that I found I was wondering if there is any other fixes out there

AMS Moustache Bar Eliminator: EVO 8/9

Product Description
AMS has come up with a great way to eliminate that nasty noise from your rear differential during a strong shift and also shave 13LBS OFF THE CAR...That's right 13 POUNDS!!! Made of 100% billet 6061 Aluminum and CNC machined for accurate tolerances this piece is one of the best bang for the buck weight saving pieces available! Please keep in mind because the bar is being eliminated along with some bushings, this piece will transfer a little bit of drivetrain noise through the rear chassis of the car. It is very livable though

seems that if you used poly bushings you might lessen some of the vibes. has anyone done this?

There is a bushing that holds and connects the drive shaft towards the mid rear of the car. I have been looking for a stronger bushing for that but with no luck.

This is the rear differential 'slapping', not the drive shaft flexing and hitting the under carriage. I don't think drive shafts are supposed to bend/flex. The bushings should help absorb that feeling and it won't be so bad. If you shift a little lighter, or better time the clutch engagement, disengagement and gas, it also helps. Be nice to your Evo and it will be nice back

LOL Why have a evo if your not going to drive it like one. This evo is my Track, Drag, and Autocross fun car. I'm gonna try to get the bushings to see if that helps. Thanks for the advice.
