Driveshaft Shop One-Piece Carbon Fiber Driveshaft (15-17 WRX STI)
PRODUCT DETAILS
Driveshaft Shop Driveshafts are built to handle not only the power of drag and drift cars but also add to the efficiency of these types of racing. Aluminum has been used in drive shafts for years but most people think its just because they are lighter - Were you aware they are more torsional?
By being able to twist more than a steel shaft it will not only make the ride smoother but it will also take some of the harmful shock factor out of the drive train helping to keep up the RPM. This will also help to save most output shafts and other related drive train parts down the line. The aluminum shaft also has a higher resonant frequency than steel (a steel shaft will act as a amplifier of vibration). An aluminum shaft will deaden the vibration due to its characteristics.
The Driveshaft Shop 1-piece 2.370" Carbon Fiber driveshaft is approximately 1/2 the weight of the factory 2-piece driveshaft. The DSS 1-piece carbon shaft features larger, replaceable u-joints and can handle about 850WHP and 180 MPH. The DSS tubing is custom wound with a high modulus fiber to ensure strength while small enough to clear everything under the car. All of the factory shields, plates and covers can be used without any alteration to the car at all. The ends are made from 6061-T6 aluminum and the shaft weighs a mere 12.2lbs. Not only will the car feel more responsive but it will also make a noticeable difference on the noise level in the car.
By removing the factory 2-piece shaft and installing a single shaft, the car will feel more responsive due to the lighter weight of the shaft and also the fact that the hanger bearing is not moving up and down during acceleration.
Please Note: This driveshaft is rated to 850WHP and a top speed of 180MPH and is not recommended for use above this speed.
