Description
The Driveshaft Shop CHSH38-C is a direct-fit, 1-piece carbon fiber rear CV driveshaft engineered for the 2015+ Dodge Charger Hellcat with an automatic transmission — purpose-built to handle 1,000+ horsepower without compromise. This is a precision upgrade over the factory rubber-isolated shaft, delivering immediate throttle response, perfect alignment, and race-proven durability.
Why Upgrade to the CHSH38-C?
The factory driveshaft uses soft rubber mounts that absorb power and flex under load — the opposite of what a Hellcat demands. DSS eliminated that weakness entirely with a solid-connected, direct-fit design featuring a precision-ground CV that inserts directly into the pinion flange, just like OEM. No adapter plates. No compromises.
Key Features
- Direct-Fit Rear CV Design — Precision-ground CV seats directly in the pinion flange, eliminating the adapter plate for a cleaner, lighter install
- 3.8-Inch Carbon Fiber Tube — Lightweight yet extremely rigid; transfers power instantly with zero flex
- Chromoly CV Internals — Built for extreme durability under high-horsepower, high-torque loads
- 1,000+ HP Rated — Handles even the most aggressive engine builds with confidence
- Solid Connections — Eliminates factory rubber compliance for sharper, more responsive drivetrain feel
- Weight Reduction — Removes adapter plate mass for improved rotational balance and acceleration
- No Spacers Required (2015+ Models) — Straightforward installation with no additional hardware needed
