Some vibrate, some dont. About 5% of the DSS one piece shafts vibrate. Both myself and the DSS are working to figure out the cause. But it looks as if the shafts that do vibrate are from particular runs, or builder.

If you can conferm the shaft doesn't vibrate at all. It will be fine in any other car.

I have a 1-Piece that I have bought and to tell the truth, I am a bit hesitant about installing in my car. I probably will though. There is one d/s that grenaded and took out the transmission and part of the engine. I do think that the majority of single piece d/s owners are happy with the product but you are always going to hear the bad.

HEY hold your horses,i have a one peice drive shaft,WAY better then the stock POS,depends on who made them,mine has went 179mph no issues car runs 10s no issues,pisses me off people have issues with stuff some of them dont even wrench on thier own cars then flame stuff they have NO idea about..first off the one i have cut down on my 60ft times ,No more wheel hop,and anyone every look at the stock shaft rubber bushings were made to fail from the start those are fine to dampen vibs,try racing one they fail rather quickly NOT meant to take the abuse from a car that hooks with softer tires! end of rant..lol


these come complete with a billet yoke not some crappy spacer...

lots of 4500rpm clutch drops on my stock DS...no problems. So far ive seen more one piece guys break their DS than stock DS guys. Then again maybe i just dont hear about the guys who break the stocker.
