Indeed! Not that I would worry too much about the stock U-joint or carrier bearing failing, but I figure anything you can do to make the system more simple is always a great idea. Plus the performance gains from this mod make it even better

Heat tolerance is almost entirely up to the resin used to make the shaft. The carbon fibers themselves can withstand relatively high heat with absolutely no issues as long as they're not exposed to open flame.
There are many different resin systems with different heat tolerances and glass transition temperatures, I'm sure that PST has chosen a resin that can withstand the typical temperatures found underneath a car.

Thank you for this! And yes, these can withstand very high temperatures as they are designed to cope with the harshest racing conditions. We have yet to see any Carbon Shaft fail or fatigue due to heat.

Yeah I felt the same way too, but once we put these on our shop cars and I had a chance to experience the before and after, I am a true believer in the benefits of a Carbon Driveshaft. If you have any one local to you that has a Carbon Driveshaft installed, I would ask them to let you drive the car, or at least take you for a ride. It really makes a very nice difference
Thanks,
