Havent heard of anyone having one of these.
$1600...would it even be worth it?

Now available is the 1-piece 3.25" Carbon Fiber CV Driveshaft for the 2009-2012 Hyundai Genesis 2.0 Coupe. This 1-piece shaft will eliminate the factory 2-piece shaft, hanger bearing and rubber couplers, and includes aluminum adapter plates to mount to the transmission and differential. This Carbon Fiber shaft uses a 300M stub system mounted into a billet aluminum plate to mount the CV. This ensures not only strength, but lighter weight than the normal way of doing this type of end (look closely at the CV, end its not all steel). This shaft is made using our new bond technology that during destructive testing, the u-joint and flange failed at 30% higher than the rated tube specifications so we know the bond it superior. After it is assembled the driveshaft is high-speed balanced on one of the most sophisticated balancing machines in the industry.The shaft is significantly lighter than the factory (weighs approximately17lbs), increasing throttle response, acceleration and driveability on a higher horsepower car. Also comes with special grade 12.9 hardware for the aluminum adapter plates. We have been using this Billet aluminum style plate for over 10 years on thousands of 1000+HP Supras, BMW's and many more with out any bolt issues. Rated to 1000HP+ with a 1-year warranty.
$1600...would it even be worth it?
It improves acceleration and throttle response but I doubt you will feel any difference if you only have bolt ons. Upgrade your turbo, internals, every single bolt on, fuel system, and push massive amounts of boost and then you may see a difference. So in another words...put that $1600 towards something else that really matters.

Had one on my '97 WS6. My '06 350Z came with it stock. Alo of drag racers use them because not only are they lighter, but NHRA says you don't need a driveshaft loop with CF. That frees up even more weight. No loop is needed because when they fail, they shred and can't catapult the car.
First question to ask is, "what do I want this to do?"
Because mucking around with a part that has so much mass(both static and dynamic) can open up a can of worms you might not want to visit. Especially when that can of worms is made of stuff few people can work with properly.
Now, some places will do a lightweight steel driveshaft. For a road car, this might be a more sensible option.
