What are the benefits of a carbon fiber driveshaft?

Carbon fiber driveshafts are considerably lighter than traditional steel or aluminum ones. This reduced weight decreases rotational mass, allowing the engine to rev more freely and potentially improving throttle response. The material itself also offers good strength for its weight.

Does this driveshaft come with all necessary hardware?

This driveshaft is designed as a direct replacement and typically utilizes the factory hardware for mounting. It's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of what is needed and to ensure proper installation.

What is the difference between a one-piece and a two-piece driveshaft?

A one-piece driveshaft replaces the factory two-piece setup with a single shaft. This design eliminates the need for a center support bearing, which can sometimes be a source of vibration or failure. It simplifies the drivetrain and reduces overall weight.

About this part

Product Details

This is a 1-piece carbon fiber driveshaft from Driveshaft Shop, specifically made for the manual transmission 2013-2014 Scion FR-S, 2013-2014 Subaru BRZ, and 2017 Toyota 86. If you're looking to upgrade your drivetrain for improved performance and reduced weight, this driveshaft is a solid choice. It replaces the factory two-piece setup with a single, stronger unit.

Constructed from carbon fiber, this driveshaft is significantly lighter than its aluminum or steel counterparts. This reduction in rotational mass helps the engine rev more freely and can contribute to a more responsive feel from the drivetrain. The 2.75-inch diameter tubing offers a good balance of strength and weight for these applications. The one-piece design also eliminates the carrier bearing found in some factory setups, which can be a common failure point and introduce vibration.

This driveshaft is designed as a direct replacement for the stock unit, meaning it should bolt up without major modifications. It's a popular upgrade for enthusiasts looking to handle more power or simply shave weight from the vehicle's rotating assembly. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, as proper alignment and U-joint phasing are critical for smooth operation and longevity.
