Default Driveshaft Shop or Dynotech Driveshaft?

Hey guys! I'm shopping for a driveshaft and I've narrowed it down to two. I'd like to hear from people who own one of these two. Which one do you own and have you had any problems with it? Thanks!

Driveshaft shop


Dynotech

I ordered a DSS but, after 2 months of waiting (they are notorious for this), I gave up. Got the DynoTech one instead. Shipped out same day. The biggest thing with these driveshafts is that if installed improperly, they will vibrate. Some lesser brands are already imbalanced so you picked 2 good ones to choose from. DSS makes theirs a bit different so it's kind of like, can't fail and idiot can install it. Where the Dynotech one needs to be done right. Mine has 0 vibrations at any speed and any rpm. I have no complaints.

If you are going to get the DSS one, order it from LethalPerformance because they sell it $100 cheaper than DSS themselves does.

I would also recommend the BMR safety loop. If you manage to make that shaft explode, it's better to lose just the shaft than everything around it.

DSS hands down.. the only other company I would consider over them would be PST.. I've owned DSS in most of my cars and will be putting a carbon fiber one on my current car when I get a chance..

The CV joint of the DSS and PST shaft is superior to the sliding spline of everybody else.

I've got a dynotech, can't complain, but I have nothing to compare it against. my choice was simple, they were the only ones that had a part number that was ready to go with the s197 t56-magnum transmission.

Aluminum or CF?

We require an accurate weight measurment while you're at it!
