Product Description
DSS Chevrolet Corvette 2001-2004 C5 6-Speed Manual (Includes Z06) 3in Aluminum Driveshaft GMC5M-2
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.
Our new torque tube driveshaft is made from 3″ x.125″ wall 6061-T6 aluminum and uses our own custom machined ends. This will ensure that the shaft will not distort or break like the factory units. The factory shaft is made from a smaller tube (there are 2 different types) and will flex and actually bend during hard acceleration, causing the rubber drives to wear out prematurely. Available for C5 and C6 applications, and can also be made to custom lengths. Rated to 1000HP with a 1-year warranty. If you are planning to make more power, check out our high horsepower 3.5” Heavy-Duty version.
