Also, alum. DS = more smoothness in your drivetrain, no more clunking because of intermediate u-joints, and a tiny increase in your MPG due to a reduction in parasitic loss. At ~700$ it's not cheap, but I can tell you that I have 2500 miles with mine installed after 1700 with the OEM shaft, I really think it was worth the cost.

When people are willing to spend the same money on a Borla exhaust for better sound and a few HP, the same consideration should be given for a driveshaft upgrade.

No increase in NVH at all, as I said, it adds to the smoothness. I wish I could say like a 40yr old scotch, but I don't drink the stuff... ;)

I did get an increase in NVH with my MGW shifter because all that slop and vagueness you get in the OEM shifter is there to reduce NVH for the masses. Ford does this for a reason, and I don't fault them one bit for doing so, they are in business to turn a profit and crank out 60+ % of 6cy Mustangs to pay the bills and allow the Boss and GT500 buyers to have an option for such a fine automobile.

I'm not one to have a huge sig with all my mods, etc, but I have a '13 Boss 302, with MGW/heat shield, DriveShaftShop alum ds, Goodridge SS brake lines with ATE Blue fluid, GT500 mufflers, etc. I drive this as a daily driver until the New England winter forces me to put it in the garage.

This has to be a tough mod for most to consider as it's hidden under the car and hard to quantify. You have to drive another car w/o it to really detect a discernible difference between the 2. And without ever having tried one, it's really a case of you don't know what you are missing... I'm happy with my choice, I hope others can make an informed decision based upon real world owner feedback.

I'm not pimping the DSS shaft either, you can get an alum DS from other vendors too, but I'm sold on the marketing hype on the DSS site. Put me down as a happy camper. :D

Not all driveshafts are equal. You want one with a CV joint at one end [DSS, PST] all the rest are outdated and should retire.

thanks Ace. I have an MGW waiting to be put in now so I'll expect some differences in vibration.
What else is needed besides the driveshaft when switching over? How is the install - seems like it would be relatively straightforward

Waiting to be put in? You can do it yourself, and put that money spent on labor towards a new shaft. All you would need for specialty tools is a good strap wrench, socket extensions, 6pt deep sockets, and some ramps/jack stands. If you don't have the tools or are living in an apartment / condo I understand, but if you have any friends or relatives with the space and tools you can do it yourself.
