CF is bad for a road car though... One nick in it and it WILL fail, it's just when. At least when it fails it doesn't do any damage though 
What's the advantage? Also I was wondering if CF would get rid of the clunk noise when the drivetrain engages.figgie;1249922 said:
Or it could be the diff having too much play (common as hell on Toyota diffs as they use the stupid crush sleeves)

and it will nick too ive had my alum ShaftMasters for a week and its already got nicks in it. :cry:
Another +1 for a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft from ShaftMasters.
The only time it vibrates is when there is snow/slush/salt underneath my car or on my tires. It goes away in about 5 minutes when its thrown off. (Obviously only happens on snowy winter days).

My last one had the cardboard, and I now have a Shaftmasters with the foam insert. It is quieter, but still not as quiet as I would like (still sounds like knocking on a metal pole, without the ring). I was wondering if CF might have more inherent sound dampening characteristics, like a plastic would...IJ.;1250061 said:A simple cardboard damper tube inside a metal shaft will do that
Does this clunk noise happen under hard/fast shifting?
I think i heard this the other day i even jacked up my car and crawled under it with the flash light to check and see if my subframe was messed up.
It sounds kinda muffled too like im holding a pillow around my head.
I have a shaftmasters 1pc aluminum, If that helps.

quick update thanks for all the replys i have 2 driveline shops in my area one wanted 495 for a steel one they said it was so high cause they didnt want to risk vibration the other said no sweat and made it for 118.40 and it works great at 70 so im sure more will be ok
