you got apples in the mail..
nice driveshaft, you'll notice the difference right away

 

Awesome!! Love getting parts in the mail and ripping them open. Then I dread the install. Lol. So far with this car everything has gone pretty smooth tho

 

that is one of the best feelings

 

What should i expect when they say the difference will be felt right away? A little quicker acceleration?

 

+1!! Stuff of mine should be coming this weekend so I'm really excited. But then I have to get it painted and install it and everything. Dang haha. Nice op!

 

exactly.. makes much better low end response

 

oooooh pretty

 

What brand and where did u purchase? Im looking at ur pics on a very old and crappy iPhone so forgive me. I'm interested in buying one. Thanks

 

here you go. i ordered by phone, and also got the recommended safety loop

Is it worth it? I've heard others on other threads say that there's just basically better things to spend $600+ dollars on

 

Well its a signifcant upgrade since you are drastically lowering the rotating mass in the drive-line of the vehicle. Less stress on the power train, engines revs up faster, gets a much smoother, quiter ride, and of course better acceleration and fuel economy. Plus piece of mind knowing that it can handle high horsepower when you deicde to mod down the road and that it can run at autobahn speeds

 

What is the point of the 2 piece shaft? Smoother ride?

 

Two piece driveshafts are junk. The only point of them is to save money and cut costs. A one piece drivesahft will always deliver a smoother ride and more subtle engagements.

 

Ive always wanted to do this on one of my vehicles, thanks for posting. Heres an article I ran into a while back, pretty good reading... it says one particular mustang has a 30lb driveshaft..well we have what? a 50lb driveshaft? I say hell yeah, Im going for this mod

Kind of wish I wouldn't have asked that. Now I'm feeling like I want to add it to the list haha

 

i like that table and the chairs

 

Great looking pieces. I'm sure the old butt dyno registers real improvement. Is there any real statistical instrument confirmed data which confirms? It absolutely makes sense that there would be real improvement, but I would be curious how much is actual and measurable and how much is placebo???

Ultimately, I have no doubt that you will enjoy these tremendously and I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I'm sure it's just envy being the beast she is.

 

Thought they were much more the $600 and change......Hmmmmm now I'm thinking of getting one. Are there any "better" shafts out there or is SM the way to go?

I was gonna spend 600 on headers but don't really want to tune the car yet.... This might be perfect replacement. Power and no tune/warranty voiding!

 

These are the stats for the piece i got

• 1330 series Neapco, High performance rear universal joint
• 1350 series Spicer, High performance front universal joint
• 3.5” X .125” Alcoa 6061-T6 aluminum driveline tubing
• 14HP peak increase, and 16 ft/lb of torque increase
• .21 Second Reduction in 1/4 Mile E.T.
• Rated up to 750 RWHP
• Reduce rotating mass
• Increase fuel economy
• No need to change pinion angle from Factory OEM setting
• A driveshaft safety loop may be required in racing applications.

There are several options:

Axle Exchange from American Muscle (it is 4inch though, the one i got is 3.5" )
