    One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft Vibration

    Hey everyone, I recently installed an FRPP one piece aluminum driveshaft in my ‘07 GT and I’ve been having some issues with vibration ever since. I know this is a fairly common issue but I wanted to get some opinions on where to look first. Everybody seems to say something different but my car...

    Question About GT500 Driveshaft Fitment on GT

    That would make sense. Like I mentioned I’m not 100% sure how these work but I might open up the joint just to see.

    Question About GT500 Driveshaft Fitment on GT

    Just got mine in today. Hopefully going in this weekend. Quite the weight difference too. At the very least it’ll be easier to install lol!

    Question About GT500 Driveshaft Fitment on GT

    Hey everybody, My factory driveshaft finally gave out after 212k miles about a week ago on my ‘07 GT 5-Speed. I bought another used 2-piece driveshaft from my buddy and installed it but it has an interesting problem. It fit ok and the install was relatively uneventful but I was pretty upset...

    Hollow Rattle/Light Knocking Under Car

    Posting an update in case people find this thread and are curious. I ended up finding a really good deal on an entire rear end. Completely refreshed 8.8 all new bearings and seals, Yukon 31-spline axles, Diff locker, beefy Yukon 3.73 gears etc. for $400. After inspecting my old rear end, it...

    Transmission Swap Ideas?

    So I’m planning on overhauling the tired drivetrain in my 200k+ mile ‘07 and I’m having a hard time deciding what route to take when it comes to the transmission. I’m between 3 options, another TR3650, a TR6060, or a T56 Magnum. Nowadays, it’s pretty tough to find either of these used in...

    Long Tube Headers with On3 Turbo Kit

    Yeah they cost a pretty penny but turbosmart is one of the best in the business. Lots of good features too. The WOT box is one of the parts on my list to get. The no-lift shift is a nice thing to have with the turbos as well. Us manual guys gotta take everything we can get lol.

    Long Tube Headers with On3 Turbo Kit

    Completely agree. I’m pretty much on the same boat as you. Unfortunately I’m going to have to wait a little longer since my stock driveshaft is about to give up and is raising hell under the car. Gonna take the opportunity to do a full T56 swap which will greatly improve the build for the...

    Hollow Rattle/Light Knocking Under Car

    Update as of 1/29/25 I did a thorough check of the car and still nothing visibly wrong with the car. However, after jacking up the rear wheels and spinning them by hand, i’m able to replicate the noise. I had my doubts but now I’m leaning more towards driveshaft. Could be rear diff or axles as...

    Long Tube Headers with On3 Turbo Kit

    What boost controller are you running? And yeah turbo V8’s are a whole different ball game lol. Keep in mind some of the most powerful cars ever built are twin turbo V8’s or some iteration of that. (i.e. Mclaren, Koeniggsegg, Bugatti, Many drag cars, etc.) High powered turbo builds on these 3...

    Long Tube Headers with On3 Turbo Kit

    So for the specific kit I found for sale, the seller has a different BOV and wastegate he’s selling with the kit (Not On3 but I don’t remember the brand off the top of my head) To reiterate, I’m not too concerned with getting the most out of the turbo kit since I can’t push much boost on stock...

    Long Tube Headers with On3 Turbo Kit

    Well any manifold with a V8 has to eventually collect 4 pipes to 1 on either side for the dual exit. In the case of the On3 kit, there’s some piping that connects both headers to one single pipe for the turbo. My concern was mainly with length. However, heat is a concern too, but I would assume...

    Hollow Rattle/Light Knocking Under Car

    I’d have to check tomorrow to see if there’s anything loose under the car. My car is catless so I can rule that out. Driveshaft was one of my first thoughts but it would still be spinning in neutral which makes me believe it’s not that either.

    Hollow Rattle/Light Knocking Under Car

    So I was driving home from work today and noticed an unsettling noise coming from the underside of the car. I had the music cranked and I was able to just catch it through the music. I stopped immediately and got out to check over the car but didn’t find anything and proceeded to drive home...
