Yeah I read that, but parts do fail. The 1 yr warranty is the good part, I would just have to beat the hell out of it within that year!

I just recently had a CF drive shaft failure (PST), been on the vehicle 7 months. The car is NA with breather mods only. Does driveshaft shop build their drive shafts any different than PST? In other words, is there a more secure way of attaching the CF tube to the metal parts without using glue? As you can guess, this is where my failure occurred.

I really enjoyed the responsiveness of the vehicle with the CF drive shaft installed. However, if I have to repair the part every 7 months, in my opinion it's not worth the headache involved.

BTW, my car is not a daily driver and I probably put 1,200 miles on the drive shaft before failure.

That's the kind of thing I'm worried about. ...the fact it's held together...with glue...does not make me confident about the CF driveshaft

"Driveshaft Shop" Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

What was the price tag on this? The unsprung weight which would help with acceleration intrigues me. This paired with some 4.083 must be extremely fun.
