Driveshaft... DSS or Wiles?

I had a DSS, shook so bad couldn’t use the rear view mirror. Been running a 4” Wiles for almost 3 years now, had it up to 194 mph and it sees 145 at least once every time it’s out. Besides a 2 piece for 3 times the cash it’s battleship of a shaft.

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?

What’s your experience with it? Aluminum or carbon fiber?

Aluminum and I don't have any problems with it just perfect only driveshaft where I haven't heard a single complaint about vibrations unlike the DSS etc..

Did you have to custom order it from them?

just gotta call and ask if they have any in stock I waited awhile for mine but worth the wait knowing I wouldn't have any problems or vibrations at high speeds, the car is buttery smooth now.

Awesome thanks for the link just what I needed

I have installed the latest version of the DSS aluminium and I have almost no problems with it. I drive it on the German speed open "Autobahn" and everything is ok. The only thing is, since I installed the a other solid DiffBrace, I have had a slight vibration when taking the gas off at very high speeds, which are not so relevant in the USA approx 140mph, but isn´t disturbing. At my cruising speed of 85mph everything is fine and on the country road between 40 and 65 mph everything is okay too.. Perhaps the new versions of the DSS are better than the older ones with the universal joint.
I was also skeptical at first whether the DS was good. I had got it cheaper and tested it and be happy with it.

I know of no one that has had issues with the Livernois/CCI driveshaft, myself included. There have been reports of issues with DSS and Wiles driveshaft. Customer service is far better with Wiles than DSS though and among those two Wiles seems to have a more reliable product.

Thanks @Blkout . Does CCI make them for Livernois? Or are you saying you haven’t had/heard of issues from either of those 2?
