Where is a good place in Georgia to have a aluminum driveshaft shorten?

 

Atlanta driveshaft off of hwy 41 in marietta

 

dont shorten a stock aluminum...aka used driveshaft. The aluminum is porous...gets dirt in it and just wont come clean for the weld to hold. been there did that twice last year....2 different places welded it and it broke both times on their welds and these were driveshaft places. just my 2 cents

 

Doesn't speed inc do custom length driveshafts?

 

theres 2 places in norcross. Norcross driveline and one other. cant remember the name though. they both do it.

 

Make that twice in one day. The second guy bad mouthed the shitty welds the 1st guy did and said his would be fine. His glorious welds broke too.

 

they couldnt hold all my horsepowerS!!!!!

 

My driveshaft is not the stock aluminum one if that matters. Should I still not shorten it. I'd really hate to throw a steel shaft in there!

 

No more power than you have, just make one out of 3" sch. 40 PVC pipe. Id say get a good glue for the fittings though

 

wes, did randy get in touch with you, i was talking to him last night, he was going to offer you a driveshaft to use if you wanted to get it shortened.

 

i dunno about any others...just the stock aluminum one.

 

He contacted me, but I already have a stock one. Thanks anyways!

 

 

Yeah I know what you mean that steel shaft will steal probably less than 1 RWHP @ the most from ya.. .. my car came with a steel one and after I swapped to aluminum my buttdyno did not register any difference in the steel vs the aluminum ...

PS If you get to the point that you are making big HP you'll ned something besides that aluminum one..

 

It's not a loss of rwhp that I'm talking about. It's the fact that I just bought this aluminum one, and only ran it for the one pass that my 12 bolt broke. I guess I really should switch to steel considering the fact my 12 bolt broke and the aluminum driveshaft didn't, but I guess it's because I'm not making enough power though.......right? The company I bought my driveshaft from said it's good for around 800rwhp! Let's be realistic dude. There are 10.5 outlaw cars running aluminum driveshaft's and they make alot more power than you or me, so I'm really not going to get into a pissing contest with you about wich is better. I asked about cutting and welding my aluminum driveshaft. I didn't start a poll on wich one is better.

 

 

Peace grasshopper.. .. dont take everything so serious ... but if you are really serious can you say carbon fiber..

 

It's all good! No harm hear. Yes the carbon fiber driveshaft would be sweet, but just a little bit out of my $ range for a driveshaft!
