That's the same driveshaft I got, same company and all, LOL. Think I payed $320, it's a damn nice shaft though.

I just got mine from ups, threw it on real quick and went for a test drive. Smooth as glass up to at least 105 where I let off.

Phyiscally its the same size as the stock one, but about twice as heavy since they used 1/8th wall AL. Also I had them paint it flat black and I went with all 1350s since thats whats on my rear anyway.

I wonder if it being heavier equals more drive train power loss.
