i had the ati (440 rwhp) and i didnt break my stuff....stock rear and driveshaft...ive had my car for a few weeks now put about 300 miles and driveshaft is holding up to break in period...it might break if i do some hard launches but i aint scrd lol...id say leave the driveshaft last so you can break it and laugh at the damage....but then again im stupid

Most of the stock rears longetivity depends on whether your car is an automatic, or a stock. I have seen bone stock six speed cars take out the 10 bolt rear. One guy on here posted he broke his pulling out of the garage... I'd say you're going to break the weak 10 bolt rear, it is just a question of when. I've seen the stock 3" aluminum driveshafts break on 400 rwhp cars, and they usually do floor damage when they let go, not to mention that they will more than likely take the exhaust system with them when they let go.
