Aluminum Driveshaft Question
I asked this question on American Muscle's site and they never posted the question on the part page, not sure why (maybe they don't want a bad answer out there?).
I see that the Driveshaft Shop driveshaft has a revised CV joint that takes care of the pinion angle problem when you lower your car. I was wondering if the American Muscle driveshaft has the same feature or not?

Our driveshaft features a completely new pinion flange for superior durability and performance. It features 1330 series U-joints and is a solid, 1 piece design made with 4" Alcoa certified 6061 aluminum tubing. The CV joints will be a higher quality, but most people that drop their car aren't going low enough to change the pinion angle enough to be affected. Most people throw on a set of Upper Control arms to correct the pinion angle.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions! Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266.

$658 for the GT driveshaft with free shipping, new rear bolts and even a socket for those 6-point bolts .... that seems like quite a deal when all the other shafts I see go for $750-800 ...

I bought one from American Muscle. It is made by Axle Exchange. More quiet and smoother than the factory driveshaft and around 10 pounds lighter.

The pricing of different manufactures is always priced a little bit differently. However we like to price very competitively and we offer a 6% discount to all of our active posting members with a minimum of 50 post! If we're still not cheaper we do offer price matching!
Any time you find an item cheaper just give my CS team a call and they'll get you squared away in just a few minutes! Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.
I hope this helps clear things up. Please let me know if you guys have any questions, need some assistance or just want to chat!
