Hey all, looking to do some further upgrades, and wanted to know if anyone has had experience with using the one piece carbon fiber driveshaft from BMR...here's a link

can it make an actual seat of the pants difference?

It will mke a difference, but is it worth the price.... I doubt it. Modified Mustang mag did an artivle on them and the physics of why lighter driveshafts are better. Its a good read.

Yea very expensive for the everyday driver. I believe that for the everday driver it is not worth it. Now if you are racing your mustang at the track on weekends then I guess it would be a good upgrade. I dont know much about driveshafts but I would imagine that would be the general opinion.

You may want to also consider the aluminum driveshaft from PowerHouse. Not as expensive but should meet your needs.

By the way: Technically there is no true "one piece" shaft for the 05 since they all have a spline section that moves in and out as the suspension moves up and down through an arc. The real benefit is weight reduction and strength.
