    S197 one piece driveshaft...

    Hello TMC,

    Thinking about adding a one-piece drive shaft to Ol Paint this season. I would like to hear from those of you that have one, both pros and cons.

    Thanks
    Stephen

    Pros, faster acceleration, better gas mileage, stronger, saves 40lbs

    Cons, potential for vibration if something is wrong, could act as a pole vault if it breaks without a driveshaft loop, costs money

    I just found out ford racing came out with one, I'm thinking of picking one up as well

    The Driveshaft Shop aluminum one piece works well in my auto Coyote and it's a huge weight difference.

    Ive had an Axel Exchange one piece for 3 years. Works fine. No vibes. To Nicks point, half the weight of stock. Got it used for $600.

    Although I've read about a number of peeps reporting increased vibration, only seen the opposite where it's cured a ride thats vibrated since pretty much day one.

    Have had an Axle Exchange 4" in my car since 2011, agreed all pros!

    My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my car and parts for what I told her they cost!

    Boost was added a couple of years ago.
