Project Stocktonaut

I absolutely will!

On the other car, I did the DS along with all of the other mods...so I couldn't really give a great accurate assessment. On this car, the DS will be the first mod done - on an otherwise stock car. I will likely do the DS and the half-shafts at the same time, THEN do the exhaust afterwards.

I also am not going for an all out race car since I will be driving my car daily, but the driveshaft is appealing to me. I love saving weight on things that spin!

Keep an eye on this thread then.....because that is the entire reason I got this car.

To test out many products and come to the conclusion of what works the best for me, for daily use and have the ability to use the car for road course, drag race etc and have fun!

So my new Shaftmaster DS will be here tomorrow, and installed tomorrow night. It is a new version, direct fit with a 3-bolt flange. I will snap pics and take weights etc tomorrow at the office.

I also acquired a scratch and dent BMR special. A CB005 Kit....without the front locating arms. I am going to use the kit without those arms for a while, like I tell the convertible guys to do....so I can see how well it works for this car. If I like how it works without the legs/braces....then this may turn into a new part # offering for the convertible owners, as well as the people who want to combine the Steeda Centering kit and their subframe braces.

New Direct-Fit Driveshaft showed up today! Lighter than the previous design too!

that is a beautiful u joint and flange

Yup!

17.4lbs LIGHTER too!

Woohoo!

Love my Shaftmasters driveshaft. I was surprised at the weight difference between OEM and aluminum. I didn't get any increased NVH out of it either.

helps to have the cradle aligned correctly. Its why so many folks seem to be having issues randomly while others are golden.

I race at BMP alot. ;)

Nice build and thanks for supporting the mustang suspension so well. subbing.

Loving this Pypes Touring Axle Back! The black tips are NICE!

The full axle back comes in at 20.4lbs. I will have sound clips and the OEM axle back weight soon, after I throw these on.

Oh to the M to the G (to the W)! This thing is pure badassery!
