Sure, but just how often do you drive over 113? I'll be getting one just so I can put more power into my car.

I start work early (3:30am) and my commute is 15 miles of hi-way and maybe 4 other cars i pass on the way, the answer to YOUR question is almost every day, but only in the morning.

You might want to PM afixer. It seems I recall his driveshaft broke during a dyno pull when he was installing his X-Charger. I think he had a fix for it, too. Can't recall exactly.

I've been meaning to replace mine, but I haven't really seen any sites selling them. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough?

I have a 2006 model. Is this a problem with the 06 model?

I never drive that fast.

It's not a problem. It would be better to have a stronger driveshaft for a more powerful car.

Only some '06 models have it. If you never drive that fast (I think it's 95 and up), then don't worry about it.
