1JEWLDSSRS I know you have had a good experience and I am sure a lot of people have, The factory aluminum in my 3rd gen is great. My luck I would get a out of balance unit. My stock shaft is smooth but it just turned 16K on the car. I am sure DSS has sold probably the most units and that is why you hear about them the most.

I also have the DSS One piece driveshaft. I installed mine, and checked the clearances as the instructions stated and it was within spec so i ran it. It fixed my driveline vibration, and the car feels a bit snappier and peppy down low. No vibrations and I have had the car well into the triple digit speeds. So far I have no encountered 1 single issue with the driveshaft. Just torque the bolts to the proper spec, and then maybe a little more. Check the clearances and make sure you are inbetween the tolerances. It CAN be too short OR too long. It needs to be in between. I can't remember what the measurement is but the instructions tell you, and that is it. It is a PITA because you have to pull your entire catback off the car to remove and install the driveshaft. I did mine at the same time as my headers and exhaust so everything was already apart anyways.

Those those goofballs that like to overachieve, I ran my carbon fiber DSS at 7,272rpm when running the Colorado Mile. I calculated my next runs in October for the Texas Mile to where I'd be spinning around 9,750rpm. I think they balance the CF at 9,500rpm or I've heard 10k, not totally sure about that. So, I guess this is a "we'll see" experience.

Update on my DS from Gulf Coast Driveshaft - Even though the website states it will work with a ZL1 diff, plus I called and was told it was drilled for both SS & ZL1 diffs, it will not work with a ZL1 diff. The bolt holes in the DS flange are 12MM and the bolts for the ZL1 diff flange are M14's. After discovering this I called and was told to just use the smaller bolts with a nut on the backside of the diff flange.. Um, no...
I've looked at drilling the holes out but not sure I want to do that just yet.. Going to call and see if I can return it and also call PST driveshafts and see what their backlog is like.

Ashen I was going to call Gulf Coast today but after reading what they told you I am not sure I want to. They should let you return it if is not what they said, Or maybe they will take it back and drill it.
I have read good things about https://pstds.com/chevrolet QA1 has Carbon on the shelf ready to ship.

I asked Gulf Coast about drilling it and they said I can but its all on me at that point. I just spoke with PST and they can have one out in 4-5 days. The downside is they want all the measurements (flange to flange, measure bolt hole center to center both diff & trans flange, measure pin diameter on both diff and trans) in order to get it started. I can do that but will need to drop the exhaust and driveshaft to get the measurements. Might do that this weekend.

I see why they want it but that is a pain and I would think they would all be close, maybe your's they want because it's not original combo for your particular car. How does the gulf coast shaft look? Well made? Of it bolted up would you be happy with it?

Here are a few pics of the driveshaft and the bolts.
Here are the bolts - top one is the GM M14 for the DS to Diff flange. Bottom is the M12 that was provided.
