Default V-6 Drive Shafts

Hello
I am looking to replace my stock driveshafts with a alluminium or carbonaftermarket one with brackets has anyone done this. I am looking for links or directions to these shafts and information if anyone that has them how have they preformed for you (ie. have you had any vibration issues etc).

Thanks
Lobo

I believe someone is custom making them out of ranger driveshafts. There are some ready to go units, but for the S197s they're pretty expensive.

some one on her a while back was talking about CF ones but they were like 900 bucks and it only saved a few pounds and the numbers picked up in the 1/4 before and after werent eneough to justify the 900 price

and for the s197's u should get one with out the middle u joint or whatever because what iv heard that actualy puts a drag on the drive line that isnt needed

Way to give a half *** response.

I said that there are two carbon fiber drive shafts. One was around$585.00 with steel/cfand the other was about $900.00 with aluminum/cf.

Here's a link on what we talked about. https://mustangforums.com/m_3274633/tm.htm
