Hello, hello.

I’ve just finished my suspension and exhaust and am now looking at the DSS Aluminum driveshaft. Are there any reasons why I shouldn’t do this? I’m not looking for a performance gain. I’m hoping it will help eliminate the clunking while shifting.

TIA!

 

I hate the clunk!!! Feels like I'm going to break something!

 

These are great, we get a lot of demand for these. The build quality on these are top notch. Send us a shout, when you decide to pick one up.

 

I have one, bought from Jay ^^^ and due to be installed this Friday.

Looking forward to having my own review of a 1-piece aluminum d/s soon ... :-)

 

We are on the same modding path haha. Def post up!

 

You know I will ... lol

 

Make sure to do a driveshaft saftey loop while you're at it.

 

Well, the DSS d/s is in, I don't feel anything up to about 100, and only minor something then. Had it up to 110 with no issues.
I didn't cruise at those speeds since it was just a quick spurt there, relax a bit, then quickly back down to sane speeds.

No loop this time.

 

Just ordered mine. I never had an issue with the stock one but have been going 130+ on tracks am dynos so I'm due for an upgrade.

 

Didn't notice any faster acceleration with it?

 

Can't say for sure ... the car had no problem accelerating BEFORE these mods, and I really didn't go ape-**** on it after the stuff was done today, but I have a lot of driving to do over the weekend, and it's all gonna be done in the Mustang, so I'll come back with more reviews shortly :-)

 

Do you plan on getting a loop in the future?

 

Probably

 

There was a recent article in one of magazines that said one reason to keep the stock driveshaft was because it reduces the NVH compared to an aluminum one...

 

I read that as well. I'm only going to an aluminum DSS is because I'm currently at 557whp and am about to crank up the boost to 14. Will get to 700whp with more boost and e85. currently changing to e85 as we speak, just waiting on my new fuel pump. Stock driveshaft won't suffice.

 

Now if you go by this logic then some would say upgrading your suspension increases NVH. Any aftermarket part you get will take away some discomfort just a little. Any aftermarket spring or dampers are going to make the car stiffer.
The 2 pc DS is a have POS, it truly is. We've seen some shred but 600+ HP will do that to you.

Gabe, I'd highly suggest getting a loop. We just picked up METCO and are doing a full stocking order. The front alone would help.

 

I am sorry......NVH?? What is this? I have read this over and over in various threads.

 

Noise, Vibration, Harshness.

 

Thanks. Learned something new today.

 

Clearly if you have a power upgrade, yes, I could see your point. However, I wouldn't make that blanket statement on a stock, non-race use scenario. There was engineering that went into it.

By the way, the original poster wants to decrease the noise, rather than add to it. So would a DSS aluminum driveshaft really make sense?
