One Piece Driveshaft

[Sharpy200]

Hi,

I have been looking at Aluminium Driveshafts and have narrowed it down to 2. Has any got any experience with either of these that ca help me make an informed decision?

Steed 3.5" rated to 800hp
Dynotech GT 3.5" rated 900hp

Thanks

Dave

I've been thinking about this for a while. Didn't realize Steeda had a driveshaft until now. Digging into it a bit more, it appears it is made by Spicer/Dana who I believe make the S197 one piece driveshafts for Ford Performance. Should be a quality unit. I just ordered one.

Cheers for this pal, Looks like the Steeda one is a good purchase, Not as light as the say though. Are you gonna weigh the old and new when you fit it?

@thelostotter Did you ever get this weighed and fitted pal? What do you think?

Steeda told me they would ship out 2-3 weeks after I ordered. So I think be getting it within the next 1-2 weeks.

Says 19 lbs lighter than OEM driveshaft. OEM = 36 lbs. 36-19= 17 lbs.

What's the benefit of a 1 piece or the OEM?

PROS:
Lighter weight for less rotational mass

CONS (imo):
Moocho increase in NVH
Easier to damage

But I thought Steeda said no increased NVH?

I have a one piece Shaftmaster and have no issues with NVH. It actually got rid of a clunking noise I was getting at low speed start & stops.

Im sure i read a post where someone weighed one and it was 21.5 lbs which is not as advertised on there site. wanted someone to confirm actual weight before i ordered. if its 17lbs ill get one

3X I’ve upgraded to a “better, lighter, stronger driveshaft since 1997. All three times I either went back to the stock shaft, or wish I did.
