Easy. Remove the four bolts to the rear of the shaft where it connects to the diff. The front just slips out the back of the tranny. Drain the tranny or you'll get grease everywhere when you pull the shaft.

They sell them on rx7.com, it says it is 900 some-odd $ and it weighs 10.8 lbs, though I don't know what the stocker weighs. If there is a big difference you might see some improvement due to reducing rotational masses, but personally I think it would just be cool to have a CF driveshaft ! 
hope some of that helps

Yep. I don't see the advantage of the carbon fiber one? Even if it is lighter the inertia is so low anyway I wouldn't expect an improvment worth the money.
