In regards to lighter driveshafts. I've done this and for "feel" one piece on this car is a lot nicer feeling, no clunkyness feel and yes a feel of being more peppy. Much more on a dyno? Don't know don't care either. I will get a one piece again soon and in cf.


Haven't seen anything from Subaru themselves...


1-piece driveshaft is only really an issue at high speeds (then again, having a driveshaft failure at high speeds could be...bad). It's a pretty easy thing to calculate (tons of calculators online for it), but I've seen what failures do on Supras (which run a 3.73 or 3.93 final drive usually compared to this car's IIRC 4.10). Stock power wouldn't be an issue as I don't think you'd get going fast enough, but if you're super/turbocharged it could be an issue to watch out for.
