2 piece vs OEM 3 piece IIRC.

Drag Car? It'll def cut a lil weight and drivetrain losses.

Like any DS as long as it's properly balanced there's no cons, but for a street driven car that does not have a current DS issue I'd spend my money elsewhere IMHO

only move away from a 3 piece driveshaft if you have a fully solid mounted engine and gearbox.
The 3 piece allows the shaft to stretch and shrink, because of how the engine/gearbox tilts.
