Well its a signifcant upgrade since you are drastically lowering the rotating mass in the drive-line of the vehicle. Less stress on the power train, engines revs up faster, gets a much smoother, quiter ride, and of course better acceleration and fuel economy. Plus piece of mind knowing that it can handle high horsepower when you deicde to mod down the road and that it can run at autobahn speeds

Great looking pieces. I'm sure the old butt dyno registers real improvement. Is there any real statistical instrument confirmed data which confirms? It absolutely makes sense that there would be real improvement, but I would be curious how much is actual and measurable and how much is placebo???
Ultimately, I have no doubt that you will enjoy these tremendously and I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I'm sure it's just envy being the beast she is.

Thought they were much more the $600 and change......Hmmmmm now I'm thinking of getting one. Are there any "better" shafts out there or is SM the way to go?
I was gonna spend 600 on headers but don't really want to tune the car yet.... This might be perfect replacement. Power and no tune/warranty voiding!
