CF Vs Aluminum!

[ben1112]

Is carbon fibre driveshaft better or aluminium?

[Skurge420]

I think your talking about the titanium driveshaft........

anyway....I have both of them

the CF seems a little lighter, and seems to accel a bit better. Tho its hard to tell because in my skyline with the 180 motor(11 tooth), it has the Ti shaft

my RSX has the CF one but i'm running a stage 2 9 tooth

The CF shaft seems to make more noise then the Ti.....not sure why
overall I think I would get another CF one over a Ti




hope that helps

I have CF in both of my running XMods, and there is a definite speed increase over the stock shaft. My RSX with a stock motor and AWD tears off the line like nobody's business. I've given my brother's stage 2 drag Corvette a run, until my car ran out of gearing and he passed me

first off.. did he ask that? i dont think so...
and the reason of the CF making more noise is the D shapes, on the ends.. most of the CF shafts sold by people ( including atomicmods and all the other stores ) are made by hand, with tools of course.. and the GPM titanium shaft is precision made, by machines..

So does that mean that the cf has more performance while the Ti has more durablity?

it dont matter the material... the thing that matters is weight and durability if u can somehow find a way to make aluminum stronger and lighter then carbon fiber then it wud be better the thing is that cf is more durable and lighter so there is less resistance on the motor heres an idea think of a way to make a rear wheel drive car with a drave shaft thats only 1 cm long im sure ud get even faster acceleration like that
