Not a must have yet. Still near the beginning of my build pretty much. If I knew the fitment was this tight I would have gone with the smaller one. I'm not willing to wait to trade that in either. I would like to drive it before the snow comes.. Not to mention it has Scrape marks now.. lol.

I tried cutting the heat shield and it ended up rubbing on the other end.. damn metal warp! Haha.

You're ok grinding them down flat. That is common practice when you f*ck up a weld

. The part of the weld where the strength lives is where the 3 pieces meld... 2 pieces being welded together, and the filler if applicable. Anything else can be removed.

As others have already said, just remove the heat shield, you'll be fine.

Gawddamn! That's like a brat in a Lil hotdog bun lol

K32 Camaro · 08-14-2013, 10:48 PM

Lol. Tell me about it! 3rd time I've took it apart to try and make it fit! See where I took a grinder to the stock middle knuckle DS bracket in the second pic?

K32 Camaro · 08-14-2013, 10:54 PM

I have a DSS aluminum driveshaft. I took the heat shield out and have been running without it for years. But you my friend have bigger issues. If you are rubbing on that much $hit there is a clearance problem and you need to call Gforce about it. That should bolt right up with all that hacking. Your $hit is starting to look like swiss cheese.

Agreed.

I have a GForce driveshaft in my car, no rubbing.

Remember, Karma is a bitch and remembers when we are bad so be good for goodness sake.

OK, back to beating up on the K&N phuckers!!!!!!

lol i thought they were drs my bad T!!!

TBone · 08-15-2013, 12:06 AM

Nope, the DRs are in the plastic bags.

Sorry Axis and nyrfan. I am still a little cranky from dealing with Sprint this afternoon. I have HAD IT with them and after 13+ years am going to be switching to Verizon tomorrow.

3 hours in BB, 16+ phone calls to Sprint, 4 of which I got hung up on, and I still do not have a new phone. UUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! I even have a preferred friends and family of an employee plan that is majorly discounted and I am still going to switch. It may cost more a month but at least my calls will not be dropped and I will get better customer service.

Oh, camshaft.... He, he, he.
