So got our car on the lift last night.

First up was a set of 15-17 DSS half shafts, they bolted in just as the 15-17 cars did, with no changes.

Next, we pulled an auto driveshaft just in case it may fit with the new 10 speed auto transmission.

The driveshaft was too long, but, when we removed the front adapter piece, the driveshaft matched up perfectly in size.

DSS recommends a 3.25 to 3.75 length at the back section, and we were dead nuts in the middle.

The supplied DSS bolts are now too long without the billet piece, and IMO the factory bolts could be just a tad longer, a 35mm bolt should work fine, with some locktite though, i think we are good to go for now and are leaving it on the car for Mod Nationals this week!

Good stuff. I'm guessing the manual will bolt right in.

It's good to see someone confirming what does and doesn't work (and why). Now take the 10speed out and put it in a manual car and make it work lol!
