Best Aluminum Drive Shaft
My set up is as follows:
Novi 2200 HO at 12lbs
Full MAC set up headers/exhaust no cats
Moser Axles/Detroit Tru Trac/4:10's
And I need a one piece Alum DS any help would be greatly appreciated. Buying at the end of the month. Thanks in advance!

I can't say if its the "best" because its all I ever tried... but I had a Shaftmasters on my 09 that was not only one of the cheapest I could find, but it worked flawlessly. If I buy another one some day, I will buy Shaftmasters again.

Mishri's shaftmaster has vibration problems. The problem may be due to an install issue but we aren't sure yet.
If you intend to use torque specs - good luck. You'll need crow's feet extensions for the rear bolts for sure. It was hard to get a socket on the front ones and use a torque wrench but it's possible. We still had to use some angle on the wrench though which I didn't like. With the rear bolts we basically just hand tightened them as good as we could get since we didn't have any crow's feet extensions on hand @ the time.
