Would like to see actual 1/4 mile times between an aluminum and a carbon drive shaft. I bet not alot of bang for your buck for one of these.

@cmichaeloutube 4 месяца назад

A less than 1HP gain won't show on acceleration times. The benefits is in the driving reposnse. The engine is more directly connected to the tires because the twist, or slack delay, in the OEM driveshaft is eliminated.

@PASquared Год назад

No doubt that people will find a performance benefit out of them, and no doubt they will come down in price eventually...but $1800 is quite eye-watering when a comparable aluminum one is half the price

Best to stay away from the cheap Chinese bamboo ones.

After seeing the girl from AM grenade a carbon driveshaft with a basic hellion kit at the track, i don’t have much faith in them for drag racing.

@chickenkatsu7863 Год назад

That is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about carbon fiber driveshafts.

@didiermejia780 Год назад

Hahaha, yeah me too

@cjponyparts Год назад

Drag radials, stick shift, non drag suspension created wheel hop which will destroy any driveshaft. Lots of drag racers use these with no issue.

Ran a QA1 carbon driveshaft on my old 2015 s550 for couple years. Had zero issues and was way better than my factory 2 piece driveshaft. My car was also daily driven as well. Rain or shine out here in Texas. I will be buying another one for my 10r80 2018 car here shortly.

How well does it hold up to the weather and salted roads? Does the resin epoxy used in the carbon fiber layup hold up to salt and other junk long term?

Installed one of these on my SL55 AMG, one of THE best mods I did, the car accelerates better, revs harder and with just a carbon driveshaft and long tubes my car stock ran 12.4 at 114 and after those mods it ran 11.8 at 125

Hi, do porsche 911 can use a carbon fiber driveshaft? because i've never seen that on the aftermarket. thanks

@SantiSpeed1 11 месяцев назад

How long are these good for? Do I have to worry about the shaft deteriorating over time? Is it only good for a certain period of time?

@cjponyparts 11 месяцев назад

There is no lifespan for these, most likely it will outlive the car but should be checked regularly like all aftermarket high performance parts.

Are you going to make a how to video?

@rogerbennett2025 11 месяцев назад

well that is what im going to get for my 1969 javelin ---i dont want the old steel one .. might as well upgrade--- would love to see a dyno run .. with a stock steel driveshaft .. and then the Carbon fiber driveshaft.. just to see if the wt would eve add some HP .. plus less wt to spin

Do you have aftermarket carbon fiber shafts for modified diesel trucks?

@cjponyparts Год назад

We do not offer anything but if you contact QA1 directly they may be able to help.

Would a carbon fiber driveshaft be good with a 2015 V6 Mustang that’s pretty stock except for exhaust, headers CAI and a tune? Durable?

@TOX_Ron Год назад

You pay what you get for. More durable, lighter, and like the guy said in the video you would 60 ft better. Totally worth it. But if you plan on keeping the car just full bolt on than this would be a great start to get the weight down

@brentrichards1200 Год назад

The v6 Mustang needs a 1-piece drives driveshaft more than the GT.

@mikehughes8023 Год назад

At that power level it would be a waste. You’re talking about spending approximately $1500 on a non-boosted V6.

@TOX_Ron Год назад

@@mikehughes8023 correct, if he wants to lose some weight on the vehicle than it would help tremendously. Other than that its pretty much all it will do for him.

@whpony96 Год назад

Carbon Fiber is not designed to take a shock load! If you do a hard launch with one of these it will turn in fiber shreds and powder.

@jaywlambert Год назад

These are specifically designed to allow for some "twist". This isn't some random carbon tube meant for another application, they are wound for this exact purpose.

@johnterpack3940 Год назад

@@jaywlambert Doesn't matter how you wind it, a bit of road debris will destroy it.

@brandonshirey400 Год назад

Carbon fiber is susceptible to cyclical degradation. Look at the OceanGate sub that just imploded. Eventually, that thing will grenade with enough toque and power. If you want huge power you better get custom steel.

@Megatron797 11 месяцев назад

Those are two entirely different things. Tensile str th VS compression. Can’t compare two different forms of physics.
