I have the Shaftmasters 3.50" 2015/17 M/T driveshaft and I will confirm the Shaftmasters uses NO additional bolt on adapters. My decision to use Shaftmasters was based on their less is more design. This driveshaft delivers and transformed the Mustangs human / machine experience.Why do Driveshaft Companies make adaptors to install their one piece driveshafts in 2015 thru 2017 mustangs?I was told that ShaftMasters is a direct bolt on without adapters for the install.
Thanks for posting and that confirms what I was told.I have the Shaftmasters 3.50" 2015/17 M/T driveshaft and I will confirm the Shaftmasters uses NO additional bolt on adapters.

I ordered a Shaftmasters for my '18. Showed up this week and installing it next week. Good to hear it was positive for you.I have the Shaftmasters 3.50" 2015/17 M/T driveshaft and I will confirm the Shaftmasters uses NO additional bolt on adapters.

For the simplicity and price point Shaftmasters is a WIN, WIN.........Nice was leaning more towards QA1 CF DS myself but cannot speak on the adapter scenario off hand.
Interesting I hadn't really looked at Shaftmasters before. So even though its aluminum the vibration and nvh in general is actually still low? One of the main reasons I was looking at CF was for the nvh. That and weight but they claim these are only 21.5 lbs so very comparable. Are these really as quiet as advertised?For the simplicity and price point Shaftmasters is a WIN, WIN.........
I noticed zero increase in NVH combined with Steeda's trans bushing and shifter mount. I will say the rear cradle lockout added NVH but honestly its a domestic muscle car and as delivered from Ford the S550 GTPP performs like a wet noodle in my opinion.Interesting I hadn't really looked at Shaftmasters before.

I added the BMR CB005 cradle lockout and NVH was barely noticeable so if this DS is less than that it may be a real option.I noticed zero increase in NVH combined with Steeda's trans bushing and shifter mount.

QA1 cf here. No adapterAs others said, I believe Shaftmasters is the only one that doesnt use any adapters. I'm happy with mine.
I'm guessing some companies use adapters so they can make the same driveshaft design work with several different cars with adapters, rather than having to mold a piece specifically for each car?

Curious is this on a daily? Just ask as I have seen some express concerns with CF on street driving with variables not found on the strip like rock, debris etc. This was the one I was looking at before this Shaftmasters conversation got my attention.No adapter w/QA1 CF and no NVH
Not my daily, but I drive it on the street quite a bit. Personally, I donāt think thereās anything to worry about. CF is hard shitCurious is this on a daily?
