This increased NVH, some say objectionably. I have the DSS chromolly one-piece on my E36M3 and hate it but the car is turbo and breaks stock shafts. There was another company selling E9xM3 one piece shafts in carbon fiber with guibo but they are no longer available. BMW used a one-piece CF shaft with guibo on the current M3 but is reportedly going back to aluminum.

VAC isn't made by Driveshaft shop. VAC sells a DCT version and driveshaft shop never had a sample to make a dct version.
I believe it is made by Mfactory's supplier if you search on the E46 forum.
