oh never mind I found this "Total mass saving approximately 7Kg (65%)" on their web site
that means probebly about 11-12 lb rotational savings and 5 or so for the bearing and bracket
I will bet that alone will knock a couple tenths off

you cant really go with one piece with the angle of the driveshaft. Hence the sectioned area's.
Let see some people looking to pick these up. im itching to get a pallet of these here that I can sleep on till we have to sell them.

Can you explain to the layman how this will prevent broken axles and diff's

AMS has teamed up with Torqline CTG / EVO 400 to offer the Stateside EVO VIII owners a sollution for broken Axles and Rear differentials

First and foremost you are taking 30 lbs of rotational mass off the driveline. thats 30 less pounds the transfer case has to turn. On top of that you are placing a flexible agent between the transfer case and Differential. That little bit the carbon Fiber torques up allows the driveline to absorb the shock you are submitting it to on the launch. It stores that energy and reintroduces it slightly more linear so you are not beating the hell out of that driveline all at once. That really the best way I can explain it. Think of it as a really stiff coil.
