Worth it or waste of money? Pros? Cons? Thanks guys

Immediate, noticeable difference in acceleration. Less driveline lash/bucking.

Pain to install if you're on jackstands, though. And price, that's a con too.

Sweet. I was gonna see if I could get one custom made cheaper maybe. There's a badass driveline guy not too far from where I live. Gotta give him a call...

Just put a one piece aluminum drive shaft in from American muscle and like stated previously you can deffently tell the difference once it's in. I used a lift and it was easy but it's gotta be a pain in the but to do it on stands . It's an expensive up grade but do far I'm pretty happy with it but u could use that 700 for something better than a drive shaft

I would agree with all those points. On a lift it would be a relative breeze.

I put in the Comp Engineering safety loop at the same time, though it might not be enough for a drag strip.

I do have the beefy Steeda double loop sitting in my garage if you are interested -- could'nt install it while just on jack stands, car needs to be on a lift. I would sell it for half price if you want.

Awesome, thanks for the input guys!

Only DSS and PST make one piece drive shafts everybody else who calls it one piece is lying. If you put a sliding joint in between the universal joints it is no longer one piece. Also using two universal joints is asking for problems as alignment become critical so as to avoid vibration issues. Do more research not all drive shafts are the same.

Thanks for the heads up man!

I've been running one for a while now. I did notice a slight gain in MPG's and the rpm's seemed to climb a little quicker. I think over time it has payed for itself. I'm living on the edge ...no safety loop.

was just searching for some info on Roush1582's driveshaft and stumbled on this-

there HAS to be a telescopic section/slipyoke somewhere...does DSS/PST add a slipyoke tailshaft to the tranny? there has to be axial allowance somewhere...

908ssp

No there they use a CV joint in place of one of the universal joints. A CV joint has more than enough axial movement to do away with the problem causing slider. The CV joint also eliminates the need for aligning the flanges on the universal joints.

+1 on the DSS shaft. I had 3 different shafts in my car and never could get one of them to be vibration free at all speeds. Some don't have any problems with the so called one piece shafts and some have many problems. Get the shaft from DSS and forget about vibration problems. You can actually get it from Lethal Performance http://www.lethalperformance.com/05-...riveshaft.html cheaper than from DSS.

If you dont drag race or autocross do you need a safty loop on a 1 piece shaff?

Cusp

It is in my memory that all cars were rear wheel drive and none needed safety loops. Off the track that is. My 08 if fitted with a 4" aluminum shaft for the last 18,000 miles coupled to 3.73s out back. No vibration at any speed.
