^+1 if you got the dough get the FMS aluminum driveshaft... less roatating mass, lighter, and looks nice!

RE: Drive shaft?

What?!? You can get one from a junkyard for $10 bucks... or get one online or from ebay. You can get stockers dirt cheap. They arent worth anything. If anyone paid $350 dollars for a stock driveshaft they should be beat [sm=chairshot.gif]
