Axle Exchange Aluminum Driveshaft - 12.? lbs - $425

How is Carbon DS > Aluminum? Explain that one to me.

An extra $600 - $700 to save potentially 1 extra pound of ratational mass does not seem "better" to me. And the only reason I say potentially saving 1 pound is if you were only looking at the DSS. You could potentially save approximately 1 pound of rotational mass AND save $675 if your two options were PST and Axle Exchange.

Just food for thought.
