DSS makes quality drive shafts. I'm running one of their 3" aluminum pieces now. Got mine from:

They have a good working relationship with DSS and Matt was able to take care of me very well. I can highly recommend.

What happen to your Torque Tube. But on the DSS drive shaft you will not go wrong on it. I also have the 3 inch from DDS in my car.. Robert

Any difference in driving quality, more vibration, any negatives, etc. my bell housing on torque tube is busted, thinking I want my car in the 7-800 HP range, so just trying to spend money once on driveshaft issues. Does DSS shaft require bell housing, what about the rubber couplers.
