Default 1 piece aluminum driveshaft question

So I'm planning on buying a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft. I've searched around to get some insight on the best ones out there.. Ended up with steeda being the least problematic.

I'm curious on what everyone has to say on this.
Anyone have any problems with vibration ?
What are the usual gains at the track with this mod alone ?
I dont think it can be rated in hp/tq

Oh and funniest thing I found looking around for best price.. I think someone needs to revise their price to be at least close to the price the manufacturer has .. lol
looks bad for business.

anyway's. thought ? best prices ?

other products you think are better than this one ? Any input is welcome before I decide which one to buy. Thx

I really like my Shaftmasters - www.shaftmasters.com - great product and great customer service from them.

The dynatech is expensive as hell but it's the only one I've never, ever read about any problems with.

that's the one i bought Riptide. at the time,
both brenspeed and lethal were selling it,
so that was a positive indicator for me.

+2 on the Shaftmasters. I have the 3 1/2" with adaptor flange. Went in with no problems 1 1/2 years ago. Had it up over 120 with no vibrations. One of the best mods I've done. No clunking between shifts. Bought during a group buy, They get my vote for best drive shaft.
