Yup, they were the cheapest I found, but they were closed the day I called them and Brenspeed took care of me instead. I was impressed with Brenspeeds support in the getting the shaft made quickly and delivered to my door in the time I needed.Cheapest place i found is here:

They use a cv joint to minimize nvh. It's more forgiving on the pinion angle. Yes our pinion angle is fixed but several shops have told me its at an extreme angle so a typical u joint setup "could" cause issues.Been looking at DSS for a while. Didn't notice how thin the shaft is that connects the CV joint part of the shaft to the diff until I found this thread.
Not sure why they use a CV joint in that location but after seeing the Dynotech shaft posted here I am liking it more than the DSS...
Thanks to the OP for this thread..
There's others, but those seem to be the most popular. People seem to have had success with all of them from what I've read. Like I said in other posts, some have installed any one of these DS's and had zero issues off the bat, others have battled some vibration. The drive train angles in these cars doesn't always agree with the DS it seems. Sometimes clocking fixes it, sometimes a different shaft will fix it. I'm not a DS or pinion angle expert, all I know is the Dynotech went in and has been flawless.So just to confirm there is:
DSS
Shaftmaster
Dynotech
Is that correct? Seems the best two of Dynotech and shaftmasters?

I have to admit, I think I found zero posts about Dynotech causing vibration, and it was quite the opposite regarding the other shafts.Every owner with the Dynotech seems to say its flawless and vibration free, this is hugely important.
Yet all DSS owners seem to complain of vibration or NVH of some kind even after rotating.
Think I shall go with Dynotech when the time comes, can you feel the acceleration difference from fitting the one piece drive shaft?
