RE: First thought....Alum D/S installed!
All of the research I've been doing I have seen an average price of about $300. That is for a standard replacement with the yoke and whole set up. I don't really think I overpaid for this one. Yes maybe a tad bit but what have you found for the Mustang S197 cheap?

I just bought that shaft from the same place. The reason rmays wasn't talking price yet was because these are custom made to fit your car and we weren't sure how much he was going to sell them for until he made a couple of them. rmays car is lowered and my car is 1 inch taller in the rear and the measurement was within 1/8 of an inch. So now they know there will be no hidden costs involved so now they put it on there website. Here is the link. And if you guys can find one cheaper than $385.00 don't hesitate to buy it, because nobody out there is manufacturing a 4" aluminum 1 piece shaft for the v6 for under 500 bucks. But you can check local drive shaft guys in your area and maybe get it cheaper. This is a nice shaft with Spicer u-joints so it's easy to get replacement u-joints for. We aren't trying to sell anybody on this but i couldn't justify 500 and change for a driveshaft but 385 is a good deal.http://www.shaftmasters.com/store/in...roducts_id=212

Any vibration? I replaced my original driveshaft that had no u-joint clips with one of the updated stock shafts that does have the u-joint clips and now I get vibration on deceleration above 80 mph. I'm looking to get a good aluminum driveshaft because I've read of others getting an aluminum shaft and they all say they get no vibration. I'm hoping the vibration I'm getting is just the crappy stock driveshaft.

Ron i just picked it up about an hour ago i got a few things i have to do today but i will have it on tonight. Then i will run it tommorrow to feel the difference. David over there at Shaftmasters is a nice guy, he is very easy to deal with he answered all my questions and told me to call him back when i get it installed so he can get some feed back on how the shaft is working out for us. He said he has gotten alot of hits on is website already and he's happy about that. I'll call you as soon as i run the car tommorrow and let you know how it is.

Can't argue about that price....
I have the Driveshaft Shop 3.5" aluminum shaft (which I prefer) but for about $200 less that one is a great deal.
