You know you'll have to dump all of the safety loops and bling, bling, just to cut weight to keep up. We'll see next week when the driveshaft, lca's,[:@] and brackets are on.

Can somebody tell me why ford put a two piece in the Mustang in the first place? It's not like it really needed one. Seems like a waste.
I believe the two-piece is for vibration reduction and smoothness of ride, but there may be a better/bigger reason.

Also it isn't cheaper for them to go to carbon fiber or one piece aluminum!

The two piece was for vibration reasons. Just like the 15lb weights that were bolted to the rear axle of my 05' Guess Ford wanted to compete in the BMW arena. They missed the point. The aluminum shaft upgrade is worth every penny. I have had mine in for nearly a year now. And I am still in love. everything about the car will feel better.
