Maybe I missed it but, what's the weight savings with this driveshaft?

It was 16ish lbs on my bathroom scale. Not accurate, I know.

I am more impressed with the MPG I gained (a solid 2mpg), because this mod feels invisible to me.

I got the direct bolt-on installed last month. Man, the car feels so much smoother and a little more powerful. I haven't had any vibrations or clunks which I was worried about. Thanks for posting about this one, I'm really happy I did this mod.

I got at least a 1 mpg gain for combined street and highway driving. Lightweight shafts really shine on the streets, where you're always rowing through the gears from light to light. With this said, I'm sure my average mpg for street only driving was better than the gain for combined street and highway driving.
