Which Aluminum Driveshaft Should I Get?

[Mattr89]

I have been thinking about a few, and here they are. I called different shops and the manufacturers and they all say theirs is the best. Lets see what you guys think.

1. Steeda / Axle Exchange

2. Driveshaft Shop (they have the CV join and adapter plate)

3. Dynotech

First off, Not Fuckin' Tech.

Secondly, SEARCH! It's been discussed more times than I care to remember.

Lastly, it depends how deep your pockets are and what looks better in your opinion.

I searched, found nothing. All 3 driveshafts are within $75 of each other. SO this doesnt help much.

Well, if you actually took some time to read through threads you would find that there is pretty much zero issues with either of the three you have listed. Some guys run into vibration issues which can be solved by balancing the driveshaft.
So just pick what you like best and you'll be happy with it.

you might like this one. no regrets after spending a lot of time and money trying to make the "ranger" style driveshafts work

Had a dynotech. Never had an issue. The 3.5" diameter was nice and didn't get in the way. Ran it with a 3650 and 6060, it fit both.

Get a PST or DSS or don't get one.

Tried buying one of those...couldn't get them to respond.

Went DSS. Love it.

 

[Mattr89]

Is there really any power gains or butt dyno difference?

I emailed driveshaft shop and they responded in in 1 minute via email. No bullshit. The best service ever.

 

[TrickyP]

DSS....enough said. Butt dyno said there was a difference.

 

[skwerl]

No more power, but you get there quicker. I kept over revving my engine and hitting redline when accelerating until I got used to it.

shaftmasters here no vibrations seems to work good but in all honesty I did not feel any difference at all.

I liked the Shaftmasters we had on my wife's 2007. I really like the direct fit no flange or adapter needed.
I plan to get a shaftmasters for my 2011 and her 2011 soon.

I would probably advise against the Steeda/Axle Exchange one - simply because they don't tell you that it comes with a new, different style pinion flange that you have to install to make the new driveshaft fit.

It's not the worst thing in the world, but I was expecting a 15 minute install. Pinion flange installation is quite a bit more work. I probably would've bought one of other options if I would've known going into it.

yes, but I've heard it is an improvement. So id rather take the time to install something that is better than the others. Thats just what I've heard though, I have no experience with it personally. Maybe it really doesn't matter and if thats the case then I would go with a different one as well

 

[Swarzkopf]

I just checked the listing for the Steeda one I bought on Summit and it DOES advise of the new pinion flange (in great detail, actually). I swear that it didn't when I bought it. I may have just been retarded that day, too. LOL
