Default Bye Bye Driveshaft!!!

Well tonight i went to the track and was playing with my launches after all the motor work i had done over the winter. It was my 4th run of the night and got in a good burn out and decided to see what my car would do at a 4700-5000 rpm launch. Needless to say with the sticky tires and the new monster stage 2 clutch i blew the drive shaft into 3 pieces. One piece was still hooked to the rear-end one to the the trans and a third small piece shotoff under the car. Sounded so much worse with the noise an all in person lol. So my question is what driveshaft do you guys use? All my mods are in my sig so what would be your best guess for one. Thanks

Another question I didn't check the other night but are the stock M6's a slip yoke or are they just double yoked? one on each side?
