First off, Thank you @Dustin@Dynosty for getting together the 86 nationals meet, and getting some great products for us to win in the raffles. Also thanks to @CircuitJerk for winning the Driveshaft and having an automatic.

I was a little dubious at first about how well this part would perform. I'm still fairly new to car modding, and I miss some of the more subtle changes to the vehicle. This however, was not a subtle change. Even I noticed immediate differences.

The install looked pretty easy. P&L's tech had it installed in about 30 minutes. The only reason it took a while was because he changed out my old gaskets, and polished the flange a little to clean up the old buildup.

After the install one of the first things I had noticed was the quicker acceleration. It was very obvious, even to my unrefined senses. I did a little test launch after the install, and it felt great.

The second thing I had noticed was that the car was smoother. A lot smoother. The Carbon Fiber Driveshaft was absorbing some of the vibrations that I was experiencing with the stock DS.

It soon dawned on me that this mod actually had a NVH reduction because it wasn't mounted to the Chassis the way the stock DS was. The diff wasn't clunking anymore (due to my cradle bushings), the in car noise levels were reduced, and the overall enjoyment from it's new drivability really made me feel great about my newest addition.

Not to mention that Due to my Juvenile sense of humor, I took great enjoyment over all the shaft jokes we got to throw around today.

... And now, for the Pics

A farmers tan, and my shaft in hand!

I think that man is eyeing my shaft...

A comparison shot since people though clearance looked a little tight. Honestly there's a lot of clearance.

@Driveshaft Shop thank you guys. This is a great product and I highly recommend it.

also thanks to @P&L Motorsports.
