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?

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.

 right to the tips. No clearence issues at all. You have to remove the first heat shield behind the tranny though. Not required anymore.

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