I put one in when I did the TKO swap. Been there for a few years now - no problems. Did you have a question?

I was wondering if they were worth the $ over the LS1 shafts and if anyone had vibration problems, and I seen one for 200 in the classifieds

Sorry bud, can't help you on that one. I also have friends running the LS1 driveshaft with no vibrations/no problems. Maybe someone else with experience will chime in.

I had one that I purchased through Summit, and had to send it back. It had a leaky seal and I was mad, so I sent it back and went with another brand......I also had problems with vibration above 50mph.....I hated that.........
