I went with a Denny's. Maybe a little pricey but I was going for the "never worry about breaking my driveshaft" idea.

I have their "1350 Series Nitrous Ready" setup. Plenty of 5k dumps on the spray through an M6, never a problem.

Central Florida Drive Shafts right here in Lakeland!!! I twisted my stocker like a pretzel and had them build me a nice 3" steel shaft and no worries. If I remember it ran me just over $200.00 for the complete drive shaft.
