Aluminum Driveshaft?
I've already researched a little on these. I know the cheapest one is $386 at shaftmasters and they take away the vibration of our cars when we travel at high speeds. But I still have a few ?'s:
1.Install would take about an hour right?
2.How fast can our stang's go now with the aluminum DS over stock?
3.What type of RearWheel HP gains could I look at from getting one(throughtout the rpm band, low-end, top-end)?
4.What other good things do u gain by putting this in(rotational weight reduction,etc.)?
5.Do u think it was worth it?
Thanx ahead of time.

1. Shaftmasters. lol. nough said.
2. You have the link to that site?
3. I'm very sure that an aluminum driveshaft is worth every penny. Including shipping.
4. I don't think your going to be getting big gains. Its going to take the power you have now and put it to better use.

RE: Aluminum Driveshaft?
those have not been out very long...I would give them a few more months to allow other people to have really tried them out. a lot of people are jumping on it because it is cheap....call me paranoid, but I would spend the extra hundred and go for the powerhouse one for now. if nobody has issues with the shaftmaster ones over the next few months, then go for that one
remember that the DS is a part of the car that can get you seriously injured if it fails.

Powerhouse is where I ordered mine from and I believe it was worth the money (I paid aroun $500). You lose some of the rotational mass of the driveline which will free up hp.
