One Piece Drive Shaft - Carbon Fiber or Aluminum

[shoobadoo]

I have the DSS aluminum, it clunks, its loud, cv joint boot tore and was 400 for new one. Its hard to install due to not being able to compress driveshaft or move joints to slide in. have to drop trans and use pry bar to fit it in. the input flange on diff has a lip on outside that is a pain to get driveshaft in. DSS uses hex bolts and the size is 3/8th so you have to cut a bit in half then put a wrench on it. Cannot fit long 3/8 or stubby or angled one (the round hex that looks like ball at end) painful install make sure you have a 3/8th bit with a wrench and pipe to throw over wrench. If i knew this before I would probably gotten a steeda or any other brand. hardware is 70$ if you ever need new just putting that out there for anyone who is curiuos

I have the DSS in my 2011 V6 automatic Cyclone and it was easy install and smooth as glass. I have the Dormann in my 2015 pp premium GT with the manual, and it was a little harder of an install I had to cut two of the bolts .200 shorter to fit. I could have started with those two bolts in the holes first, but I would have needed a third hand, and it was just easier to line up the holes and then put in the bolts. It is also a nice drive shaft. Both are aluminum.
