Driveshaft Shop aluminum driveshaft installation.
Yesterday was the day for the installation of the 1 piece 3.5" one piece aluminum driveftshaft from the Driveshaft Shop. Very straight forward and easy installation.
Test drive today.

Thanks for the pictures. Going to doing this. Noticed that you didn't put the heat shield back on...is there no clearance for it?

I saw a scale sitting there. Did you weigh the shafts?

Looks like you are running a 3" exhaust system. any clearances issues that needed "adjusting"?

Weight wise they are about the same. I would imagine that the CV joint has something to do with the overall weight being close to the same. Still better then the stock stuff. I have bent a few sets of front bolts in the stock set up. I have only a few hundred miles on Pumpkin since the tranny outputshaft was replaced and when I removed the stock driveshaft the bolts were already starting to bend. I pretty sure there be no more bending bolts now.

I managed a quick spin around the block yesterday. Smooth as glass.

Could afford the 10 K for the Carbon Shaft. Assume it's a miss print on the site.
