I my ever quest to improve on my Evo I decided that I wanted to do a light weight driveshaft. I had them in the past and I was always impressed by how big of a difference this simple mod makes but I did not want to get a aluminum DS because I have broken 2 of them and they also made quite a bit of noise.
So I decided to order the DSS 2 piece carbon DS with hopes to drop some lbs, not have a heavy noise penalty and not bang up the undercarriage if it brakes.
Anyway, the new DS eliminates one of the 2 DS mounts and comes with a new mounting bracket that bolts up to one of the OEM DS mount locations. All said it shaves 17lbs total and it's near OEM silent. It's not 100% silent, I get some deceleration noise but I think its because I used the torque solutions solid DS mount bushings so I'm going to swap back the stock bushings and report back. Other then that it is silent.

 

I wonder if this will cure the 3rd and 4th gear WOT vibration that A LOT of Evo X owners complain about?? To me it seems the OEM driveshaft is either poorly balanced or the carrier bearings/brackets are causing it. Let us know!

 

CF drive shafts are the ****. How much was it?

 

Is that Akrapovic?

 

I think it might be Drive Shaft Shop.

 

I meant the exhaust...

 

I got that after I posted. Sorry, went full retard. Exhaust look pretty huh?
