So, I can name a lot of advantages for why you would want a one piece drive shaft.
Why did Volvo go with a two piece?

Do you really NEED aluminum? My two piece steel driveshaft is more then up to the task of handling the stupid power my car makes, is not noticably heavier then stock, was affordable to build and has been failure free.
THELOSTARTOF can feel driveshaft vibrations without driving the car..... Good-good-good vibrations.....

what size did you get yours built in? all of the old muscle cars i used to work on we liked aluminum but i guess if you can convince me otherwise it would prob save me a bit of $ . tho lighter on the drive train is a big key for getting every last second and mph out of a drag car no?
Let's hear 'em.So, I can name a lot of advantages for why you would want a one piece drive shaft.

Dare I say ? (not you, Matt. The OP)
R U 4 reals?
Seriously:
- Weight
- Cost
- Complexity
- driveline losses
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I am sure there are more.
I'm sure there are other subtleties, but that last one is the reason I didn't switch to a 1 piece. That, and well, it only cost $50 to have a stock shaft modified for my t5. from the volvo dealership.
