American muscle's prices are the best, so i bought an Ford racing aluminum d/s from them. I also bought a new tail shaft seal, how hard are they to install?

They are VERY easy, but will take more time/trouble if you need to exchange the yoke or flange on the ends. Is it ready to install right out of the box?

Haven't done it on the mustang yet, but on my old truck, removing the driveshaft was a matter of unbolting 4 bolts on the flange and pulling it out of the transmission. Took about 10 minutes.

Same story here. It's a cake job.

Yeah it's very easy, but don't expect a noticable difference.

I had Tillman speed install one for me on my previous 2010 stang since that car used a 2 piece d/s. I didn't want to mess with that. I did notice a slight improvement afterwards but the stock shaft on a 2010 is much heavier then my stock 2004 so i don't expect any increase. My tail shaft seal has a small leak so the new driveshaft gives me the ability to fix that with a new seal and get a stronger d/s as i continue to add power to the car...a win win....!!!!

Dood... ALL of the above are totally lying! They are totally impossible to install without a Major in auto-mechanical engineering

It will take you a week to swap out, but the .75 off your ET is worth it...

Seriously, many guys claim you will notice an improvement in driveline vibration if you have any vibration there now. There is very little reduction in driveshaft inertia with the one piece DS we have. As you mentioned, the two piece units on the newer cars are heavy and actually do gain a small measurable improvement.

You will spend more time raising the vehicle than actually swapping the driveshaft.
