Default Stock Driveshaft

Whats the stock driveshaft made out of? I wasn't sure if the LS1's were steel or aluminum. When I was installing my torque arm i noticed it was an aftermarket aluminum (meaning just a shop built). I've been under my other cars and have messed with the driveshaft but can't remember what material they were.

Thanks
Nick
