Anyone changed their DS yet?

L33T · January 10th, 2007, 08:44 AM

So this rear end clunking at low speeds due to the craptastic two piece driveshaft is absolutely driving me nuts.

So I'm going with an aluminum one piece, 3.5"

I've got my eye on Lethal Performance's 900HP version right now but thought
I would ask if anyone has had good experiences with other vendors they would like to recommend.

ciao MM!

They advertise 900hp but in the description they say 600hp. I wonder what's up with that?

L33T · January 10th, 2007, 09:40 AM

They've got one that's 100 dollars cheaper that is rated for 600.
I'd venture a guess and say they just blindly copied and pasted the text from the 600 hp version for the 900 hp item.

have you seen any Carbon Fiber DS any where, I can't seem to relocate the one I found awhile back.....?

L33T · January 10th, 2007, 09:46 AM

Interesting, I didn't think of going Carbon.

Here's one from BMR, they are a great vendor.

Here's the link right from BMR, they've got one for the new Cobra as well.

Wow, they are proud of those buggers. I just ordered one for my Mach from Modular Depot for $209. I have heard alot of folks ditching the 2 piece ds on the 05-07s and being very happy. Let us know what you end up doing.

Yep, that's the one... Thanks

I just installed a 1 peice driveshaft on an 06 saleen.

I used this one

http://blowbyracing.com/20mugtaldr.html

it's rated for 800 hp.

There is also a steel driveshaft available for half that price too!
