pst ds question Is there any advantage from one to the other? I didn't see anything about how much each one weighs. I was going to get the chromoly one but I'll never make over a 1000 hp. 800 MAX.

This is the only question I haven't annoyed Bob with, lol. I was just wondering if there was a weight difference between the two? The chromoly one is only 30 bucks more so I was going to go with it. Then again I was thinking about going with just the aluminum one cause it's nice looking. Polished vs black. ha

Depends on which one you get I'd assume...I think the aluminum version mentioned above is 3.5", so that is 0.5" larger in diameter than the stock DS (it is 3"). I would guess their steel offering is 3", but don't know for sure. I have a 3.75" DS, and don't have any clearance issues to speak of, and I was even able to get a safety loop to fit.

The PST 3.5" aluminum driveshaft is only .25 larger on any given side. Driveshaft safety loops and exhaust normally clear without any problems. Bob

mine didn't clear the loop on my UMI torque arm. btw what is the length supposed to be on the PST 3.5" driveshaft that is to be used with a 9in?
We have also not had any fitment issues with drive shafts and our safety loop. Our bolt in drive shaft loop also has great ground clearance as well unlike others on the market.
yea i had an issue with the UMI loop, they have the loop about an inch too high! I had to shim the crossmember down (closer to the ground 
) about 1/2" to clear the pst 3.5" shaft. Everything went on at the same time, it wouldn't have cleared the stock shaft either I don't think and my car is SLAMMED. That was with the stock T56. When I put the TH400 in I just shimmed the trans mount up another 1/4" or so for clearance and removed my TA mount shims, along with doing a 3" CM shaft. haven't measured the driveline angle yet...

Were the caps on the joint coated ? if not that will be an issue on an AL shaft and cause a problem, vibration or break
