Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

[Rustyscrew]

Does anyone have a DSS carbon driveshaft? Does it have any vibrations? Or any NVH? Or does it still drive like stock driveshaft? Or any information that should be noted? I was thinking about getting one and I've heard some other platforms with them having this, wondering if Supra does the same.

Had one in the 2015 F80 then didn't have it on my 2nd 2018 F80
Honestly didn't feel a single bit of difference
Placebo at best for a normal driver on the street

No difference. You push those high hp numbers that necessitate it? Better to just start off with the driveshaft loop, and upgrade when you brake the factory one.

Not quite yet but will possibly be there soon. Full Race x Titan kit with 6466, CSF intake manifold, ReFlex, 1050x, and lpfp all sitting in the garage. Expecting 700 range maybe 800 on the high boost I want a hole in my block map.

I used my stock driveshaft down into the 1.3 60 fts at the track with no issues. I done the DSS Carbon shaft and I haven't noticed any noises or vibrations. However I will tell you its not just bolt on. You have to change the rear pinion flange which will require a pinion flange service kit and a special tool.

This is good to know. What is the special tool?

I've swapped out a couple driveshafts with CF ones, never needed a special tool. Just bolts right up. Maybe different generations of the same product.
