Opinions on DS Issue
As the title suggests, it's to gather opinions on the 11-14 Mustang's Driveshaft issues at 120+ mph.
I'm currently in a '14 V6, and the past weekend, I took a trip onto a Dynamometer and realized my 3rd and 4th gear both top out at the governor (118 mph), and therefore could not get a definitive reading.
This had me wondering whether or not I should drop the $700-$800 on a new driveshaft. As a person who probably will take their Mustang more towards Autocross over Drag Racing, which means my driveshaft should never hit those speeds, though the drop in rotational mass is a nice bonus. I do also have two more years of driving back and forth between Indiana and Georgia for school.
If I should go for the swap, should I go for the apparently brand-less version or the driveshaft shop version on American Muscle?
Thanks guys!

I don't really have any experience with the options for the Mustang, but I ran the DSS one-piece in my GTO, and the GTO was well known for not tolerating one-piece driveshafts.
The DSS driveshaft performed flawlessly, when I upgrade the Mustang I'll be using them again.
