Re: carbon fiber driveshaft

I would have posted this earlier, but I don’t get on this site that often. I had an aluminum drive shaft made about three years ago. It has a slightly larger diameter (compared to stock) for strength reasons. This also meant that the heat shield had to be modified so that it wouldn’t rub (in addition to being a “one-piece”). For all of the reasons mentioned in this thread I put the stock driveshaft back on about two week after installing it. Vibrations were noticeable around 60-80 mph. It is lighter but I never weighed it. I never noticed much of a change in acceleration if any at all.
