I have the same ds as well. I didn't really notice all that much of a difference. However it was almost a necessity to purchase since I was getting a dyno tune and I wanted the peace of mind the 1 pc ds would give me when the speed limiter was removed.

if i hadnt of needed to replace my stock drive shaft anyway i probably wouldnt have gotten it since i dont drive at high speeds and i dont have more power than the stock can handle. im glad it seems that i made a good choice getting the american muscle brand one though. i was going to get the driveshaft shop one since it actually had a brand name and was a 3.5 instead of 4 inch but it was out of stock when i ordered it about 3 hours ago but it seems to be in stock now.

I can't really tell any difference on the actual ride but think the acceleration had improved since the rotational mass is less. The main reason I wanted an aluminium driveshaft is too be able to roll with the big dogs. I won't get punked at 150 mph now. Lmao. I can tell you she is smooth at 140 mph.

i went 155 in my camaro which was the speed limiter on those and i must say its scary as crap. i think i got bama to set my limiter at 120 and i never ever go over 100 since i have a carbon fiber hood thats suppose to have hood pins in it but i didnt use hood pins.

I no longer have a limiter. My tuner made sure of that.

My buddy took me for a ride in his 13 v6 mustang with full bolt ons, aluminum driveshaft, tune, and some 285's on the rear 275 front. On an old backroad we went 150-160 and it was so smooth. **** quick too! He definitely hangs with the 2010 slightly modded gtʻs no problem and gave a guy in a 5.0 a run for his money! Granted the 5.0 was a stick and i dont think the guy knew how to shift quick. Could hear em get hung up on the gear change.
(Racing was done at a local airstrip, not on the street)

Bro, no doubt a fully loaded bolt on modded 11 plus V6 could easily give a stock 5.0 a run for there money.

Well i was surprised tbh. Had a CAI, full exhaust from headers all the way back, trottle body spacer, one pc driveshaft, 3.73 gears, some good meats on each corner, was running a steeda tune, and a good hand on the shifter

i out ran a 5.0 in my 3.7 that only has a tune. if someone cant drive and on top of that they have a straight drive its not hard to out run them. having a quick car means nothing if you cant drive it.

Come on dude, first you pick on the 4.6 and now you're picking on my 5.0. I hope you know that Ford built the v8 not just for the sound.

Honestly to me its hard to beat the sound of a well put together exhaust system on the 4.6's. The 03-04 cobra and mach 1's sound like pure sex with bassani catted x and borla stingers

The new 5.0's sound great too but the note is just a shade higher than id like it sometimes

IMO the best sounding mustangs are in this order...

4v cobra/mach > 2v GT 99-04 > 3v 4.6 05-10, and old 5.0.

The new 5.0 has this high pitch buzz I haven't seen anyone get rid of with aftermarket exhaust, and the sound of a 2v GT with a nice setup is so throaty I love it. can't quite get that sound on my 3v but pretty **** close.
