Installing a QA1 Carbon Fiber Driveshaft on the Camaro 

I am SO blessed to have my loft after doing most of my car work on my back & ground!! Going to save me years of physical pain from now on!

Thank you so much!!

You are completely correct!! I always try to simply answer any questions that I have been asked repeatedly and answer them 100% honestly! I have ZERO issues with it and absolutely love it!!!

You’re amazing!! ❤

Great tip this is where ppl complain about them snapping this is the solution!!

Ops , I like you put out on RU-vid I learning alot from you

If all the exhaust was ran through a single 2.5 pipe I could see it being restricted but not the way it is now. Going with too big of pipe is not good either

Maybe I will sometime soon. Haven’t made plans too though since access to Dynos are minimal. Wish I had one!

The stock driveshaft for the Camaro is aluminum instead of the normal steel heavy driveshafts. I opted for the Carbon so I wouldn’t be adding weight more than the stock driveshaft. It’s also increasingly stronger than stock which makes the investment worth it. Wanted it now versus being stranded on the side of the road in the future!

@@KaylaRundle yeah, that was it, actually. The aluminum drive shaft isn't that much heavier than it's carbon counterpart. To an extent, weight savings are weight savings. These things are under 2k anyway, so more power to you there for sure. Look forward to an impression/experience video once you've had time to drive with the shaft on. If you plan to put down more power, it's also always a good idea for sure. Never heard of getting stranded due to a had shaft but I suppose it could happen lol.

That's because the biggest "drag" on an engine is the rotational inertia of the flywheel. That's what controls the responsiveness of the throttle, not the driveshaft.

​@@spdcrzyuhm. Rotational mass is rotational mass. Any reduction in weight in the drive train will affect throttle response. 🎉

@@BSA210 this is true. but my point is that you'll feel a MUCH bigger difference from the flywheel in a big cubic inch V8 vs the high revving motor in an M3 vs changing driveshafts. Both make a difference, but you can't feel the difference of the driveshaft if the flywheel is still the primary regulator of how quickly the engine responds to throttle input. In an M3, if you're doing it right, you have ITBs, a light flywheel, and a carbon driveshaft - that works on a car like the M3. A Camaro engine like Kayla's is going to make UNGODLY amounts of torque that would scare the shit out of an M3. And therefore the weight savings from a CF shaft are not going to be nearly as much.

Exactly!!

You got that right! Thank you so much.

It comes completely perfect, balanced, has all the hardware ready for install and driving within minutes!

@@KaylaRundleanother dumb question but did you weigh it before you put it on? Any weight reduction due to the carbon fiber?

So many more things to learn!!

Thank you so much. Check out my last video, it has all the information on the new lift. It’s the Nussbaum Jumbo 7 from Obsessed Garage!

Nevermind. LoL You did say you're on upgraded axles in the video. 🤦

Yes I am! G Forge Renegade Axles

I completely agree. I definitely want some new wheels soon!

Always pay for the best of the best!!
