1pc carbon driveshaft vibration

Interesting, mine looks like the old shaft but I have the newer trans mount.

No thanks to UPS I finally have my new shaft back from the DSS. I'm using a bathroom scale here so the weights might not be accurate but I think its still valuable for comparison sake.

The updated shaft has a different carbon fiber weave, smaller adapter on the trans side,one CV joint instead of two, and is 4.2 lbs lighter on my scale. I'll grab more accurate weights of the CF shaft and stock shaft before installing. I was impressed with the first shaft but this new shaft is extra sexy. Should get a chance to install this weekend. Hopefully she spins smooth FTW.

OLD CF SHAFT

NEW CF SHAFT

Crazy that a CF DS only saved you about 5lbs.

Anyhow, did the new design resolve the vibrations completely?

He is saying an additional 5 lbs of savings it seems...

The old carbon fiber shaft was 28 ... the new carbon fiber shaft was 24 ..... I would love to see the weight of the stock one? This upgrade is on my short list but I have heard aluminum ones are close to the weight of he carbon ones?

Stock GT Auto DS is 29lbs...

Hence my comment.

I was a little off though. I am surprised that a CF Shaft only saved him 5lbs (over stock)

What is the weight of stock manual drive shaft? This option is on my short list but not sure if the after market carbon fiber one is that much lighter than the after market aluminum one?
