Well, I just posted it because a. he's our sponsor, b. I got one on order because c. I tried to get my aluminum shaft balanced and they handed it back to me and said it's warped and my stock steel one had numerous bench vise dents in it.
Just another hunk of metal that I've broken with the chicken so far this year.

Re: Driveshaft
Welcome to the board. 
Kind of an old thread to revive.
If you're looking for a driveshaft for the street, not sure a carbon fibre driveshaft is worth paying more than say a 4th gen alum. one that can be had for $100-150.
They pop here from time to time or try some of the 4th gen forums or ebay.

Re: Driveshaft
The aluminum third-gen driveshafts are a good option.
At some point, the fourth-gen aluminum driveshafts went to thinner-wall, cardboard-damped garbage and many should be avoided. I don't know if that's the one GMPP sells.
Aftermarket is always a good option.
