I like it. After having multiple ins and outs fighting a vibrating DSS aluminum driveshaft which I have given up on.
(expensive wall art ) I have put the OE drive shaft back in and run 1.4 60 foots consistently with no vibration.
While the OE shaft was out of the car I studied the carrier bearing quite a bit. I didn't find any problems with it,
but based on its design and construction I tagged it as a definite wear item that needs to be inspected often.
This JBX carrier bearing looks well thought out and constructed. I will give it a shot at $ 199.99 and see how the car
likes it, and how well it holds up.

Stock redeye driveshaft > dss driveshaft. Any day of the week. Adding this carrier bearing brace will make for a pretty damn solid driveshaft

What about the QA1 CF drive shaft, how does it compare to the stock--would it be better to just upgrade the carrier bearing or go to the CF shaft?
I think a Redeye driveshaft with the JBX carrier bearing would be a good choice down to a 9.5 second range.
Lower 9's and south of that, carbon fiber drive shafts have had their issues, seems like they all break sooner
or later. Chris Kelly (Kelly's Garage youtube) is on about CF number 4 on his way to the 8.8 range in his 2019
Challenger Redeye. The Mark Williams Enterprises two-piece factory style driveshaft is the highest quality,
strongest, and most expensive Hellcat drive shaft out there that I'm aware of. I guess if you are working your way
down in 60 foots and ET's you might as well skip the CF's and aluminum shafts and go big with the Williams
driveshaft it will more than likely work out cheaper in the long run.

Well, just confirmed my bearing is shot, going to see if it can be replaced under warranty, or better upgraded to a red eye under warranty and then this is being ordered immediately

How well did this work out for you?

I do not believe this will fit the aftermarket Driveshafts and it is made for OEM.
The ad mentions OEM and Stock.

The Driveshaft area on a Hellcat is already a tight fit for the aftermarket DSS.

But If I am wrong and someone has it installed with an after market DS Please let me know.

Pics would be great!

Pretty sure this is an OEM replacement. The nice part is it's two piece which makes it easier to install. Until I saw the damage to the stock carrier bearings I didn't know it was an issue. Relatively easy install. Going to an aftermarket 1 piece DS is an alternative but there are options.

I guess you didn’t read the title of the post? Or the topic of the post? Where it says 2 piece driveshafts ? And no it will not work with an aftermarket 1 piece driveshaft.

If you read my post you would know that I have read yours?

I know what the Title said 2 pc just like it advertises and is for OEM.

I was just making sure there wasn't a possibility if it could fit any of the aftermarket ones. Some guys will mod an aftermarket part for whatever they may use it for.

So Thanks you answered the question.
