Automatics with Carbon Driveshaft.....would you do it again??
Looking for feedback on the DSS Carbon shaft for automatics and direct user feedback. It's next on my to do list and I would like to here any critique from actual owners.
Any negatives?? |
I'd get the carbon if I was in US. We have to pay tax if we import something over $1,000 including shipping, so it works out about twice the price as you can pay. Aluminium is a bit loud on downshifts particularly 5th to 4th and carbon would soak up that shock and noise better.
I don't believe there's any downsides to carbon unlike aluminium, except perhaps value, but that applies to both. |
I have been running a DSS Carbon Drive shaft on my auto for over a year now. It is a good way to reduce mass, weight and the weight is more evenly distributed. When i took the stock shaft off, I was disappointed at all the give and weight it had. I was able to notice a slightly less delay in pedal to go after installation.
I have been fortunate enough to not have any negatives nor any installation woes (was my first drive shaft install too). I do not experience vibration or noise (3 in full exhaust, probably wouldn't notice it anyway). It has been a rock solid piece taking the cold, salt and any road abuse like a champ. I have had the car up to 123 ish mph and has been smooth as butter. Just my two cents to your next $1000 purchase. DSS has my business for the future. |
No one has this installed on an auto?
