devo tuning two piece driveshaft

we just fitted up my car with a new custom two piece driveshaft compliments of devotuning.com the other day. im not exactly sure if this a common thing or if anyone else is selling these but here is what ive noticed so far:

downshift/deceleration/acceleration seems to be very smooth
the car drives like its 200lbs lighter on its feet to be honest
no noticeable vibration or cabin noise (relatively stock full weight car)

the unit itself is roughly 14-15 lbs lighter than the stock three piece. we had every intention to dyno the car before/after but that will most likely wait until another time. i dont know for certain what the price will be but there is already a 2 week lead time on producing them for those who might be interested.

it is currently on my 2006 evo which has a turbo back exhaust and a reflash otherwise stock full weight car.

it is also my understanding the price will be somewhere around 500-600 but dont quote me on that. i will probably have pics up later tonight or tomorrow for you guys.

oh sorry with repsect to the strength of the unit... this was designed/tested/developed for customer scca rally cars so when it came time to bolt up to my daily-driver/weekend-racer i didnt even bat an eyelash.

i will see about obtaining specifics tests to the strength of the unit.

When is this part going to be publicly available? I went to their website and couldn't find info about it. I don't know if I'll end up needing a new driveshaft to fix my problem yet, but just in case, I'm doing some research ahead of time.
