PST CF driveshaft

Has anyone used a PST CF driveshaft on a W211 E55 yet? Any thoughts?

I looked into and contacted them and a few other places. Are stock driveshafts are very light to begin with and decided at $1600+ that i would wait to see how the stocker held up.

Interesting. I would be concerned with high speed vibration.

Apparently high speeds is why the new GT500 has a CF driveshaft.

Difference between designed for and added to. Thus the concern. I will wait for someone else to bite and post up their impressions.

CF driveshafts will eliminate most vibration. That's a lot of the reason for using them really.

Significant power increase to wheels. Half the weight of steel and still lighter and stronger than aluminum with greatly reduced twist and harmonics.

I wouldn't use anybody but ACPT. They have the most experience and can build anything you want.
