Two more - Denny's Driveshaftmakes a 3" steel one with an adapter plate for $599. They are very well known and make quality parts, but they use an adapter plate, so I'm going to steer clear of them (for that reason only).

The one I think I'm going to be getting is from here: http://www.axle-exchange.com/mustang/index.htm

4" aluminum with a new pinion flange is $599. 3" Steel with a new pinion flange is $499. I called and spoke to the owner. VERY nice guy, spent a half hour on the phone with me explaining everything, telling me about the differences between shafts, all sorts of stuff. I'll be gettingthe 4" aluminum one after I do my blower (hopefully next month). FYI - axle-exchange driveshafts are in the Team JDM cars, including their blue Saleen car that just turned a 9.88 @ 139.01... It's also personally endorsed by Jim @ JDM.

PS - stay away from the 3.5" aluminum ones.. The site above, while they still list them, no longer sells them. S p i c er (the company who manufactures the Ranger driveshafts (that everyone uses to make the 3.5" aluminum shafts)), switched to a thin-wall tube, since the Ranger is not a high-HP application. It doesn't stand up so well. Call Neil @ axle-exchange for more info.


EDIT: I can't believe this site ****'d out the s p i c in s p i c e r... Does it have something to do with them not being a sponsor, or is their "slang" dictionary overly agressive? Jeez!!!!!
