To add to gr8snkbite's reply, There is also less chance of breakage with a one piece.

I went with the Dynotech one and no issues so far. I haven't been able to drive it alot but I am going on a 1,500 mile road trip later this week!

Randy - See PM I sent you. Also think abut the loop. I'd call it a must have with the DS.

DSS is only 17lbs but was not out when I got my Dynotech. No issues with it either as both are a lot lighter and stronger than stock. I'd not run with out a lop after seeing Harley dealers mess

Is there an issue with the loops and putting the car on a hoist?

depends on the type of loop you have...may not clear the rear one if you have a one piece DS. i have the BMR loop and even after lowering the car, the DS cleared the loop by about 1/2 inch.

Cool Re: driveshaft????

What plate are you all talking about?

I bought the Evo 3.5 (dynotech?) and it bolted on right out of the box.

No problems whatsoever w/ BMR front and rear loops on lowered car.

THE DRIVESHAFT SHOP

I ordered direct from DSS and found out after it may be about $50 cheaper getting it through Evo...assuming it has the same warranty through Evo

Randy got a heck of a deal through the BVM Performance store. MUCH less than by buying from the driveshaft shop direct - and it still has the standard mfgr's warranty.


PM me if anyone wants a deal on these too.
