Pricing for 1310 includes most trans slip yokes - $250. 1330-1350 including trans slip yoke $399.

I dont understand that... Is it $250 or $399? If its $250 for a shaft, that I can do. Would make it more than worth it over a steel shaft I had in mind. But 2 days is a wait. And I really dont know how to measure that stuff, do they allow you to bring the vehicle to them and they measure?

Disregard the last post, but would a aluminum driveshaft be ok for a drift car, or would I be better off getting a steel one. It says street/strip. But i dont know if it would do the job it would need to do...

aluminum is fine, unless you have enough power and traction to break an aluminum shaft, then you would need a chromoly shaft
