Hey @Mach1soldier have you installed the QA1 driveshaft on your M1 yet? I need to order one for mine but I cannot get a straight answer if the QA1 ds for the gt350 will fit the M1. Some say it will because it’s the same tranny and rear end but others say not necessarily because it’s a different motor and the length could be different.
The length of a VooDoo 5.2 block vs. Coyote ?
I was interested have you installed the Q1A driveshaft on the M1? Does it require also the rear diff to be dismantled in order to get the pinion installed, or it is just bolt-on on the outside, without any diff modification?
I have debated getting a QA1 for my car. With the stock 10r80 DS weighing 29lbs and the QA1 CF weighing 23.5lbs, I'm just not sold on the potential improvement vs the cost. If I were needed something stronger for FI, this would be my move.
Looks like a Shaftmasters DriveshaftI‘m not sure if Steeda offers an aluminum 1 piece ds for the M1 and GT350, but if they do, I can attest to the quality being top notch for my 2019 Bullitt. There’s no vibration or noise at all and it’s as smooth as glass. I believe it is made by Spicer for Steeda, as mine has Spicer components on it.
It may be worth a call to Steeda and/or Spicer if you don’t see one listed on Steeda’s website.
Yeah, that doesn’t seem right to me either. I’ll verify here in a couple weeks. Im about to order the QA1 for my M1. I’ll weigh the new ds as well as tge 2 piece and the bearing when I remove them.
Now that you say that it does, but when I contacted Shaftmasters a while ago, they said they were no longer building a ds for the 2018+ cars.
