rifle drilled drive shafts

[A1quattro]

hi has anyone on here rifle drilled s2 or ur drive shafts , im on next stage to shed more weight , also thinking of motorsport light c.v joints , anyone tried them ? how much weight can be saved , also thinking of cutting open rear exhaust silencer removing some of the baffle material then fittiing a alloy silencer skin rather than current steel unit , will probly rivet or screw it so it can be re packed if too loud

Yes both rifle drilled shafts and light weight Lobro CV joints

2-3kg a corner easy

You can buy whole aluminum boxes.
