The Driveshaft Shop Carbon Fiber Driveshaft for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX is a high-performance, lightweight drivetrain component designed to enhance vehicle agility and strength. Constructed from a 2.370-inch carbon fiber tube, this one-piece driveshaft significantly reduces rotational mass—approximately half the weight of the factory two-piece unit—resulting in improved acceleration and responsiveness. It features larger, replaceable u-joints capable of handling up to 850 wheel horsepower and speeds of 180 MPH, making it suitable for high-performance applications. The custom-wound high modulus fiber tubing ensures maximum strength and durability while maintaining a compact size to clear all undercarriage components. This driveshaft is engineered for enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade that combines lightweight construction with high torque capacity.

Designed specifically for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX models with a 5-speed transmission, this driveshaft is a direct replacement for the factory component. It is ideal for street, track, or drag applications where reducing drivetrain weight and increasing power transfer efficiency are priorities. The installation involves replacing the stock driveshaft with this carbon fiber unit, which offers a bolt-on upgrade without modifications. The kit includes the complete carbon fiber driveshaft and replaceable u-joints, ensuring a straightforward upgrade process. Suitable for high-performance driving, this driveshaft enhances vehicle handling, acceleration, and overall drivetrain reliability.

Overview

2008-2014 Subaru WRX 1-Piece Carbon Fiber Driveshaft by Driveshaft Shop

The 1-piece driveshaft for the Subaru WRX is a complete 2.370″ Carbon Fiber shaft that is approximately 1/2 the weight of the factory 2-piece driveshaft. The 1-piece carbon shaft features larger, replaceable u-joints and can handle about 850WHP and 180 MPH.

We had the tubing custom wound with a high modulus fiber to ensure the strength while making it small enough to clear everything under the car. All of the factory shields, plates and covers can be used without any alteration to the car at all. The ends are made from 6061-T6 aluminum and that shaft weighs a mere 12.2lbs. Not only will the car feel more responsive but it will also make a noticeable difference on the noise level in the car.

By removing the factory 2-piece shaft and installing a single shaft, the car will feel more responsive due to the lighter weight of the shaft and also the fact that the hanger bearing is not moving up and down during acceleration.
