just grab it. they are good and reduce vibrations as well as lighten it up. the stock driveshaft is kinda heavy and the aluminum one is much lighter. it will also free up some rotational mass so technically you can accelerate a little faster but u most likely wont notice that

If you do get the Aluminum DS you'll need these U Joints.
