Sup, I found this site that makes em, but not sure about G's

http://www.acpt.com/driveshaft/index.html

anyone know where I can find one? Or if anyone is even making them other than custom?

Just curious....

I've already got a pulley/crank kit and a LW flywheel and she rev's crazy fast as it is....but a CF Driveshaft would just be that much better! and better power transfer along with the weight reduction.

Anyone know a reason why I shouldn't upgrade to a lighter driveshaft.

Thanks.

....expense is the only one I can think of. They will handle more power and not vibrate at all. Do a driveshaft loop while you're under there.

How 'bout some pics of your mods!

Does anyone make a one-piece CF driveshaft? Or do I gotta stick with the 2-piece. Why is it a 2-piece anyways? Just the angle I'm assuming?

Either way....If they make one, I wanna do it



Less vibration (not that there's really alot in the first place that I can actually "feel") and better power xfer/throttle response would just be sweet!

I'll see if I got any pics layin around...

Usually 2 piece shafts are because of length or angle. With carbon fiber I bet its cost. Probably a whole lot cheaper to make two short carbon fiber shafts and put a joint in the middle then to make one long shaft and try to balance it.

The Ram had an one piece aluminum drive shaft.
