Custom driveshaft?

Im planning on putting an 8.8 rear end with lsd and 3.73 gears and i was wondering where i could a driveshaft that would hook right up to it. I know there is an adapter to make the v6 driveshaft connect to the 8.8 but it just doesnt seem smart to have an adapter in my drivetrain and to use the weak driveshaft. I was wondering if anyone knew of any places i could get something like this, thanks in advance

The adapter will hook up to the aftermarket aluminum V6 driveshafts and connect it to the 8.8.

I also just bought an 8.8 3.73 GT rear to put in ... There is no adapter used ... you replace the entire flange on the rear end with one from an 03 Cobra ... which uses the same style flange as the S197 V6 ...

mine will also bolt right in and includes that same flange in the picture....no silly adapters or anything like that. weighs approx 12 lbs. less that stock V6 shaft.
my website will be updated soon to include the V6 versions (auto and manual are different on the V6 cars).
