Just finished installing an ACPT carbon driveshaft, and there is one spot where the clearance between the shaft & the exhaust is about 1". Is this enough clearance? Does anyone know what the recommended minimum clearance for a carbon fiber driveshaft is?

Here's a pic:


Thanks, John.

That should be plenty of clearance provided your exhaust is fairly secure. I've never really paid attention to mine, but I have a 3.75" diameter shaft with a custom dual exhaust, and I don't have any clearance issues.

I just finished putting a new cat-back exhaust on the car, and it doesn't move very much at all. Now I'm wondering what the maxiumum recommended temp for a carbon driveshaft is... I have a infrared temp gun so I'll check it out one day and see how hot it's getting in that area.

Is this with the car in the air?

If the suspension is unloaded, don't forget the driveshaft will tuck up a lot more when the rearend is back under the car fully. I don't see why that isn't enough room either.
