Default Broken axles

How many people on here are running stock axles with 300whp? I have broke 4 driver side axles in the past 11 days. I have been using shitty carquest axles since they have a lifetime warrenty, I'm going to try a new honda axle and see if its any better before I buy some aftermarket. I'm thinking about driveshaftshop stage 3 but is there anything that will hold thats cheaper?

Hopefully the factorys will hold I don't feel like spending $800 on some axles right now.

Stock axels are ok . I break at least 1 a month at 20 psi. It usually happens with the slicks on or boosting on rough road conditions.

I believe there is a GB on DSS axles. I didn't need them right now but since it's a good deal I can't help it

I installed a new axle from honda yesterday and its messed up again. Its making a howling noise with the slightest turn to the right and pulls to the left hard under boost. What else can cause this? I'm only putting down 298whp why am I breaking axles every day or two. Would a messed up half shaft cause this? Anything else? Btw its always my driverside and I have a quaffie is that matters.
