i was wondering where to get a good after market driveshaft, and is it true that the driveshafts on our car tend to "explode" after 115 mph? i heard hat mid 06 the fixed that problem, is it true or what?

Later model V6's have solved this problem but the powerhouse is still a great bolt-on.

Tom (afixer) blew his on a dyno at I think 130mph, which is 15mph above the rated max mph for the stock shaft. My guess is it blew off due to vibration.

Speaking of driveshafts, today installed a 3 1/2" aluminum DS, I was spectacle of all the talk of moving less weight and mass, but the results were pretty incredible.........with 5 speed running through the gears, quicker acceleration and smoother all the way around............nice MOD, really recommend at aluminum DS..........I went with driveshaftshop.com........3 1/2".......I had a original DS which comes on the 05 without the clips.................scrap metal in comparison!!!

Cheers!!!
