It's stronger than stock and lighter at the same time. It's perfectly balanced and I have noticed less vibration. It was a lot of $$ but well worth it in the long run.

Thanks for all the compliments on the car. The wheels are HREs.

You lose HP and TQ through your drive train because it takes power to spin the heavy objects. This driveshaft is lighter than stock, which means it doesn't take away that much power simply by spinning. So technically, it doesn't "give" you any power, it just takes away less.
