My experience installing my 4in. Wiles in my ‘15 M6. I had to pull it out two or three times to fit it but we’re all good. Got it up to about 95 but no vibrations. You could see on the d/s weld exactly where it was hitting the shifter and it left a mark on the shifter as well. I just hit those areas (on the shifter, didn’t touch the ds) with a grinding wheel for a while. Took off enough material to clear it, and when I took the driveshaft out for the last time in order to put Loctite on the bolts I hit it one more time just for a little extra insurance. Only problem I couldn’t properly torque them down as I couldn’t get a torque wrench in so I just tightened them up nice and firm. 👍. Not a tough job at all, just a little tedious but if you guys don’t have an issue with interference between the Barton and the d/s, it’s a bunt. R&R the exhaust is cumbersome with one person but dooable. Two people would be a big help. A worth while mod. Don't forget the cdv removal as well. Good luck.

Driveshaft... DSS or Wiles?
Hey everyone, looking for advice. I have an original design DSS 4" aluminum driveshaft, and I wanted to know if the new design still has the old vibration issues. I also see that Wiles now has a 4' vs the 3.5". Does anyone have the new Wiles? if so, is there ANY vibration at highway speeds (60+). Looking to get as much info and recommendations as possible from people who have had both the new style DSS and new Wiles on their cars and have run the gambit with them. Thanks!

Ralph Wiles spent about 20 minutes on the phone with me talking. That sealed the deal for me when deciding to go with him. He also gave a forum discount which you might want to mention.
Ask him about a two piece. When we talked about 1.5 yrs back he was not happy about the carrier bearing he engineered so was still doing the 1 piece foam filled 4inch, which is what I’m running.
No low speed issues for me.
Yea, 3.2k wasn't happening for me. Now they are 4k? No way!
Not so much, no, but not an option for us M6 guys.Has anyone heard of the redeye pr demon (same driveshaft) stock one pretzeling? I know the rear diffs grenade, but have the driveshafts been holding up?
Oh, do tell…Thanks for the input!! Think I’m getting closer to my decision
I have my doubts if a factory 2 piece from a Demon or RedEye would stand up behind am M6 especially with a sticky track and tires.
