I am not pushing my car to the limit, I was simply pointing out the power levels it is capable of handling. I find it to be worthwhile at some point, others will not. No big deal. My Evo is not my daily driver, but I am starting to run track days and this is one part that would provide a noticeable change. Think about the price some people spend on lightweight forged rims to reduce rotational weight, I see this as very similar. I am not trying to start anything, I just like the part.

 

I like the part too there are just so many better bang/buck option that should be done first. It's like using the stock turbo and building the block first.

 

Yes i know there are other mods i should do first. But, i run on the street alot so im looking into rotational weight loss. i can pick up an aluminum driveshaft for $537 thats why i wanted to know the + and the - for each. I think im going the aluminum route. Thanks for the replys everyone

 

Where are you getting an aluminum driveshaft for $537?

 

You can get a carbon fiber driveshaft for 1200+ shipping from ACPT I think

Importimageonline.com sells them, I plan on gettin 1 for my chrsimas present well hopefully....

 

I dont think its that important right now to get a cf drive shaft. If your pushing alot of hp and torque then maybe

 

If nobody else mentions it, you also lose one joint when you go to either, which makes the articulation of the driveline less.

 

Why not?? it will be an imrovement on any car at any stage of modification
It will help your drivetrain from shock, give you better gas mielage, save some weight of the car and give you some horsepower...

 

I agree, I will probably have my suspension and brakes totally done before moving on to anything else or the cf driveshaft for that matter. Right now, I dont have a need for any more power, but I do like shedding weight.

 

Only if you replace the rear 2-pieces with a 1 piece. Supposedly, the DSS aluminum driveshaft will be a 2-piece.

 

2-piece driveshaft from Devotuning.com $537.00, not aluminum or CF though .

 

So if it's not aluminum or CF, what the heck is it? How much lighter than stock?

 

It is one piece for the rear section instead of the stock 2 piece. This way you eliminate one of the carriers and save 15Lbs.

 

Maybe magnesium??? Plastic???

 

You realize the driveshaft is not unsprung weight, right?

It may be rotating mass, but it's definitely not unsprung weight.
