Product Description
DSS Chevrolet Camaro 2012+ ZL1 6-Speed Manual 3.5in Aluminum 1-Piece Driveshaft GMCAZL1-M-A
Available now for the 2012-2015 Camaro ZL1 is our 3-1/2 aluminum shaft with CV .
We have done extensive testing with stock rears and with our 9″ kit and believe this to the the most cost-effective trouble-free driveshaft for the Camaro available today. The shaft will come with our signature billet plates for each end so you don’t have to go into the rear taking a chance on upsetting the crush collar (see below for billet plate VS changing to a Pinion yoke). Our shaft comes with a 300m stub system mounted to a billet aluminum plate to ensure not only strength but lighter weight than the normal way of doing this type of end (look closely at the CV end, it’s not all steel). The shaft only weighs 17lbs and comes with special grade 12.9 extra strength hardware with back up lock nuts to ensure no loose bolts. We have been using this billet aluminum style plate for over 10 years on thousands of 1000+Hp Supras, BMWs and many more without any bolt issues.
You will have to remove the heat shield from above center hanger mount to install a 3-1/2″ shaft. There is a possibility of clearance issues with aftermarket exhausts. This is a general warning. We have 9 test shafts out and not one had an issue. I have listed this because not all exhaust systems have been tested. (Our Carbon fiber shaft will be made from 3-3/8 and not the 3-3/4 like other manufacturers.)
Driveshaft Shop Driveshafts are built to handle not only the power of drag and drift cars but also add to the efficiency of these types of racing. Aluminum has been used in drive shafts for years but most people think its just because they are lighter - Were you aware they are more torsional?
By being able to twist more than a steel shaft it will not only make the ride smoother but it will also take some of the harmful shock factor out of the drive train helping to keep up the RPM. This will also help to save most output shafts and other related drive train parts down the line. The aluminum shaft also has a higher resonant frequency than steel (a steel shaft will act as a amplifier of vibration). An aluminum shaft will deaden the vibration due to its characteristics.
