Someone give me input. They don't have the same diameter Subaru uses, and they want to use 3 inch steel tube and make it a one-piece. Is this a bad idea? I remember hearing if it's not perfectly balanced I may get vibration at highway speed. Luckily I do get to keep my stock shaft so when/if I upgrade to a 6 speed I can slide it in.
They can do 2.5 inch but are worried about the torque. 
Thoughts?
I have until Monday to tweak and finalize the deal. |
If they use the right tubing all should be well... The tubing on all my shafts is the same diameter as the yolk... Just have them extend the front half of the drieshaft 2" using 2.25-2.5" tubing. Remember it will only ever see 50% of the power you are putting to the wheels. I have used them in modified cars without issue
