I checked the testing result which only 4Hp different.

Is there any benefit for the carbon fiber one? I heard that 350Z( or 370Z)

and GTR using carbon fiber driveshaft.

I will go with aluminum one, if there is no benefit from the carbon fiber one.

Which aluminum one you recommend (Axle Exchange or Dss)?

Axle Exchange wrote "This one piece 3" aluminum shaft saves you almost 17lbs !"

Does that mean only 7.2 lbs (24.2-17)?
