Bong1012,

I opted for the aluminum yokes to save the 2.5 LBS weight. Structurally they should be not much different than the steel.

I'm going to re-dyno my car before putting it on, then put it on and dyno it. I'm hoping for 8-10WHP/2-5WTQ. But i'll let the dyno figure that out

Is there a difference other than weight and price?
I have the aluminum yokes

Awesome please dyno, I can bet on a increase. Also this mod IMO is an upgrade that you will never need to replace. Unlike going from an intake to turbo or cat back exhaust to full exhaust. It's a one and done mod

I will see if I can lift my car up and take some measurements of the driveshaft this weekend. I hope the 6MT sedan and coupe are the same.

That is no good. To take measurements of any use it will have to be completely removed and measured precisely. Very specific measurements are required that can't be taken with it on the car. It only takes about 30 minutes to take it out and another 30 to replace it. It's very simple.

Well in a perfect world were money isn't an issue, get the aluminum. They might cost a bit more but weight is weight. On the other side of the coin, it is only 2.5 pounds for the steel. I have the aluminum so I'm bias, either way its a difference and a mod that will never need upgrading.

I emailed him for a status update but still no reply. So i thought he might have updated you already.

I can help with whats possible but im all the way in california. We might still need someone who has a 7at to go down there locally for test fit.
