Drive shaft installed, first impressions....
Just picked up my car from the tranz shop that did the install of my new driveshaft. I had the stock one up until today and what a difference. Throttle response seems much quicker, smoothened the car out and knocked down some road noise. I can't believe the difference in the weight between the two.
The shaft is a 3.5" direct bolt on from Shaftmasters and per the guys who did the install it went very quick.
If you don't remember I was the one who got the first 4.0 shaft from these guys for Pony. When I sold the car I wanted a new one and have watched the growth and the products they sells talked about in very good light. So when I was contacted to put this new 3.5" in my car I jumped at the chance, I am so glad I did.
I can't wait to get it on the track...in a few months.

would you consider doing a DS before a tune and intake?
Im more concered about the ride quality and feel of my car over the power at the moment (although i am craving the power too).
From what i hear the lighter shaft can make shifting feel alot better aswell.

foolio: The components for the 3.5" costs Shaftmasters more than the 4" components.
Shadow: if driving comfort is your goal right now over performance, the DS is probably going to do more for comfort. The car feels lighter with my 4" and rides much smoother. I think that Ron is saying the same thing about his 3.5" - smoother ride, less vibration and road noise, and smoother acceleration

Good to see that Shaftmasters is once again selling the 3.5" drive shaft. Bought a 3.5 from them on a group buy on one of the Mustang forums back in 07. One of the best mods I did . All for the same reasons you have posted. Best part is no slop in the drive line now,no clunking noise coming from the drive line. I went with the adaptor plate,didn't want to mess with the pinion nut. Had it up over 120 with no vibration.
