Are you running an aluminum driveshaft?
Just curious how many have you went out and did this mod?

I own a Fox and finally did the drive shaft just a few years ago, rotating mass go away!

The fox body ones are cheap through ebay.

Not my best mod, but a nice one to have

I had it done when I put the 4.10'S in. I figured another $300 bucks was worth it then its done.

Not much of an improvement, but looks better than the regular driveshaft.

Unless you have a vibration with the stocker, not worth the $$$ for the gains IMO. So no I dont have one. LOL
