    So the question is can the CVPI shaft hold up or will it turn into a wet noodle too?
    Sir.
    i have gone over 140mph with the dynotech driveshaft. i would do it all over again.
    i dont know about the DS that comes on the '99 to'00 CV but i believe they are also better than the factory MM.

    I have had my car up to 160mph (stock 3:55's & stock drive shaft) with no vibration.

    its kinda funny how some cars don it and some dont.
    is yours an '04?
    do you think it has sumthing to do with the years?
    or the difference in trans on these two years?

    The transmissions are basically the same but the 04's have a slightly higher stall torque converter. I don't know if this will make a diffrence as far as vibration. I doubt it.

    They make driveshafts for the Marauder, but they no longer use the MMC material.

    add 1 to the 160mph+ with no issues. Only vibration I got was not practicing smart braking technique and getting wobble from the rotors. I will say though that I don't at all plan on doing it again, not particularly worth it.

    BUT, from what I've heard that causes the driveshaft failure, there are two main things that come to mind: #1 EVERY driveshaft will have a critical speed, so ideally the smart thing to do would be to build a stronger tailshaft to insure that even if you can't have the most balanced driveshaft you'll have almost no risk of failure at that point. #2, if it's essentially a harmonic resonance point, theoretically once you go beyond that speed the resonance would drop and the vibration would subside much like an unbalanced tire. Am I crazy and there has been evidence to prove my theory wrong, or am I on to something?

    Definitely get a good quality driveshaft if you will be hitting the autobahn. If my new ride hadn't come with a dynotech I would be calling PST in Clearwater Fl for a CF one. Quoted me $800-900 2 years ago for the CF and $500-600 for the 6061 4".

    I would also recommended the tailshaft forced lubrication mod if you plan on staying at high speeds for a decent period of time just for that extra peace of mind.
