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.

Are the 1-piece shafts prone to breaking?
I'm not easy on it, but still, if it's rated for 900+ hp and I'm stock at 420, I shouldn't break it no matter HOW I drive the car, right?

I am curious about the safety loop too, I will not be adding much if any power, but the driveshaft seems like a good idea, but why pay for and install a loop if the car is not being tracked or a higher HP??
Also, there is no loop on the stock DS so must not be a big deal at stock HP?

When my DSS driveshaft comes in I'm installing the bmr safety loop. Since im going for so much power it's for peach of mind like insurance just in case. You never know what can or will happen.

Stifflers loop is very easy to install and is about $80 shipped. Considering the consequenses of a 1 piece failing, its cheap insurance.
To the OP, the DSS is a quality piece thats quiet and allows you to save money on a UCA, since you dont need to adjust the pinion most of the time.

I put the rear BMR loop on mine. A front would hit the heat shield on my MGW. At 437 rwhp I'm not overly concerned about it. It's cheap insurance but does add 10lbs. At least it's low and to the rear so the best place to add weight on this car.

I have a DSS driveshaft and stiflers loop on my 2012 A6 GT and love them both..coming from a drag race back ground.. I will always have a loop on a rear wheel drive car, seen 1st hand the damage that a u-joint or driveshaft failure can cause.. even on a street car
