A very common cause of the driveshaft scraping is a bent heat shield.
Why don't you remove the aluminum heat shield above the exhaust, and below the driveshaft?

Yeah, I've figured a lot out since I posted this roadside. I hadn't really thought things through, nor tested, or looked underneath, so... Yeah. 
Thanks for your input.
Seems like they just slapped my car back together when they saw that the driveshaft they ordered was too short. So the heat shield is scraping, which it wasn't when I dropped it off, and the same vibration as before kicks in at 20-30mph. I was just freaked when I got in and it was scraping so bad, so I pulled over, got out the iPhone, and hit up the best SVX mechanics in the world.
I love this forum.
