Carbon fiber driveshaft inquiry

I did some Google searches looking for information toward selecting a carbon fiber driveshaft. I found the following, but did not see recommendations on a standout choice.

I did find a Hot Rod article pointing me to QA1 carbon fiber drive shafts - The Lowdown On Carbon Fiber Driveshafts From QA1

My question is, if you use a carbon fiber drive shaft, which make/model do you recommend?

You call a shop, give them the dimensions, pay money and wait for delivery
 
The Driveshaft Shop built my custom shaft and handles carbon fiber.

They were absolutely one of the best venders I've ever had the pleasure to deal with! It came in on time, fit perfect, and solved all my driveline issues.

I sent the guy who did the Marauder Coyote/6R80 swap to them as well and he couldn't have been anymore impressed with quality, customer service, and time frame.

You will need to provide them the length in static ride height.

I wouldn't say they try to compete with prices, instead they focus on quality..

HAD one....PST made one for me back in 2004.
I think that I was their 'guinea pig', as I had to send them all the measurements.
Awesome piece, weighed like 13 pounds.
Sold it to a member for $550.

I also have the PST, no issues, no vibration and I'd be willing to bet they have all the required measurements. It's very robust, they say it's good for close to 1000hp. I'm only at about 450hp level so it's overkill.

Out of 100 % asks, I have followed advice given 80 %. In the end, it is my right to make the final choice. No disrespect is intended.

I noticed that too, but I think he is going for the most expensive product available. I was waiting for the question "What do you guys think about gold plating everything under the hood?"
 
I don't respond to your questions, but your bi-weekly insult to the intelligence of this forum is why I am not particularly active anymore. You are a total askhole.
 
I don't have a opinion about CF driveshafts, however Duesenbergs get resored faster that this Marauder. For the money thrown by the fist full at this car it should have been done a long time ago.

I spoke to Dynotech about a carbonfiber driveshaft, they suggested against it. They said if anything kicks up off the road and hits the driveshaft, the driveshaft will splinter and most likely self-destruct. They suggested staying with an aluminum if I was going to drive on the road.
