Drive shafts whats out there

Has any one tried www.axle-exchange.com ??
I believe shaftmasters quit making them. I am wondering who else is out there and if you have used them or not. Please post a link if you have one to any one you know that makes or sells them
Thanks

Powerhouse makes a great driveshaft for the S197. There are several high powered cars running it.
I have had mine two years plus and it has never vibrated or made any noise up to 170 MPH.

I like the pricing of your Coast out of the other vendors I have seen.

He is correct.... I am running the axle-exchange DS since Saturday, and have not had a single vibration issue (knock on wood), and thats with me driving the car from JDM in Jersey to Queens, NY. I give my fullest recommendations on the DS, and JDM.

Chris from JDM told me they ONLY use this DS on their cars (and they have A LOT of cars which they race), and have never experienced a problem, even with Automatic tranny's (which mine is). Its a pricey piece + install, but definately worth it!

Had a Spydershft for 2 years without any issues. Only sold it when I thought I might sell my car. I wish I had it back on again.
