Question Questions on driveshaft for 12-bolt owners using?

I just received my Strange 12-bolt for my A4 and had some questions on the driveshaft.

1) What DS is everyone using?

2) Is it a custom length, or the same as stock?

3) I was thinking of the LPE piece; anyone use this with a 12-bolt?

Thanks.

Yeah, my curiosity is piqued with this too.

I'm runnin' my stocker with my Strange. All this got my attention with the mention of a GP with APE...

We need input folks!

I have a Denny's nitrous ready driveshaft... stock length, fits just fine. My stock aluminum driveshaft also fit with no problems, so any stock length shaft will work.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know the stock DS length?
Also, where did you get your driveshaft, is it steel or aluminum?

Not right off the top of my head, no... I know it's been posted before though.

The Denny's Nitrous Ready driveshaft is most definitely steel... it's a heavy SOB too since it weighs about 7-8lbs more than the stock aluminum. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it is direct rotational weight on the drivetrain, which will sap some hp from you on the dyno... but what counts is that it will NEVER break on anything less than 1000hp. And if it ever does, Denny will replace it free of charge.

Just go to dennysdriveshaft.com to find more info.
