DSS 1-Piece 4" Aluminum Driveshaft for 2008-2014 Dodge Challenger SRT8 / R/T (6.1L/6.4L HEMI)

The DSS 1-Piece 4" Aluminum Driveshaft is a high-performance upgrade designed to replace the factory two-piece driveshaft on 2008-2014 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and R/T models equipped with the 6.1L and 6.4L HEMI engines.

This single-piece design eliminates the disconnected feel caused by the factory Giubo (rubber drive) and soft hanger bearing, delivering a more direct and athletic driving experience.

Constructed from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum with a custom 108mm CV joint and 1350 u-joint, this driveshaft is rated for over 1000 horsepower and balanced to 9500 RPM for smooth, vibration-free performance at both street and track speeds.

Key Features

  • 1-Piece Aluminum Design – Eliminates the factory two-piece shaft and rubber Giubo for a more connected, responsive feel
  • 4-Inch 6061-T6 Aluminum Tubing – Lightweight construction with excellent strength and reduced rotational mass
  • Custom 108mm CV Joint – High-speed boot with special grease for smooth, reliable operation
  • 1350 U-Joint – Heavy-duty joint on the opposite end for superior strength
  • 300M Spline – High-strength spline installed into aluminum head for maximum durability
  • High RPM Balanced – Balanced on a 9500 RPM machine for vibration-free performance
  • 1000+ HP Rated – Built to handle extreme power levels in street, strip, and track applications
