INTENDED FOR USE WITH 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC 8HP90 TRANSMISSION MODELS ONLY
This application may require additional upgrades: rear cradle subframe bushing kit. Check for exhaust clearance issues prior to ordering as well. Please note: It is up to you to make sure there is clearance and nothing to interfere with the driveshaft’s normal functions. Clearance issues, Exhaust interference, rubbing of any kind, etc will void any warranty. If there is any clearance issue at all, we would recommend our carbon fiber option. All driveshafts are high speed balanced for performance application.
Please keep heat in excess of 250 degrees away from bonded areas for extended periods of time. While it is uncommon to see these temperatures under a moving vehicle, we highly recommend heat shielding/insulation, exhaust/header wrap, to create a barrier of protection. Shafts that fail due to improper heat shielding and subsequent thermal degradation of bonding agent are not covered by warranty.
Please check for any clearance issues. Check the driveshaft tunnel for any bolts, heat shield rub, exhaust clearance, shifter clearance, etc. Make sure nothing rubs the driveshaft. This is your responsibility. Any interference with the driveshaft is not covered under warranty.
Our 1350 series driveshaft DOES NOT require additional adapters. We build each driveshaft with aluminum adapter flanges from Sonnax. Our driveshaft will bolt directly into your existing OEM flanges on your transmission and differential. This eliminates the need for any additional parts and hardware
We build each 1350 series driveshaft with 3.75” x .155 carbon fiber tubing, 2024 aluminum bondable yoke shaft and spline sleeve assembly, bond yoke, adapter flange yokes, and performance 1350 series solid cross non greaseable u-joints. Hardware with Loctite is also included. All driveshafts are high speed balanced for performance application on our new Coetz Balancer. A driveshaft balance print out sheet will be provided with each order, giving you peace of mind knowing your driveshaft is balanced within industry standard tolerance. We also torque test each carbon fiber driveshaft before shipping. This ensures the bond is solid and your driveshaft will hold up under high torque application. Please send us a note on how many ft/lbs of torque your car is capable of so we can test properly. We are one of only 3 shops in America offering in house torque testing on every carbon fiber shaft.
We use 3.75” OD x .155 wall carbon fiber tubing from Composite Drivelines and/or NEAPCO. There are 14 layers of different directional weaves, creating a stronger, more durable tube.
We use a 2024 aluminum bondable yoke shaft and spline sleeve assembly from Composite Drivelines for additional strength vs traditional 6061 aluminum
We use direct bolt in adapter flanges from Composite Drivelines and SONNAX instead of high speed CVs that require additional adapters and hardware
We use only NEAPCO Performance 1350 series solid cross non greaseable U-Joints in all of our performance and racing shafts.
