Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Was that a stock LS1 DS?
I'm looking for better than stock u-joints and something that will not break as easily (my car is practically unmodded). Thanks

yes that was a stock ls1 ds, it had brut force HD u joints, it wouldnt have broke but my spider gears locked up and took the ds out with it.
You will be just fine running an LS1 aluminum driveshaft. The picture you see above is what happens when you launch a car at 6500rpm on nitrous, with slicks lol.
2011 Mustang GT
20" Satin Black AMRs with 305/35 & 275/35 MT Street Radials, Saleen Grille, CS Lower Valance, Roush Axleback, GT500 Spoiler, resonator delete
- Neapco "Performance Dynamics" ujoints (non-greasable American universal joints - maintenance free) - 3" Diameter X .125" wall thickness Tubing 6061-T6 Aluminum
- Full length internal sound deadener (poly-foam) to help reduce NVH (some LS1 DS use some kind of cardboard)
- High Speed Balanced as a complete assembly with trans yoke attached before balancing
For less than $300 it seems like a good deal... I've searched on other forums and they seem to make good quality driveshafts (just haven't heard any opinions from a camaro/firebird owner).
If anybody runs a DS made by shaftmasters.com please post your experience.
it was only 4000 and with mt et streets lol but yeah he should be fine with a normal ls1 driveshaft.
Haha, ohhh my bad.
Roger, why are you looking to buy a brand new one? Ls1 aluminum driveshafts are a VERY common mod with Lt1 cars. And they can usually be had for right around $100

I broke my stock LS1 driveshaft launching at 2500rpm on drag radials and it looked very similar to the above pictures. The stock ds is probably safe for the street but I wouldnt use one if you plan on making a few passes at the strip. I was once told by an old wise man that aluminum is for beer cans...not driveshafts!!! I now run a heavy steel driveshaft rated to more horsepower than I will ever have.
I'll like to play it safe with a new DS that comes with new u-joints and totally balanced. I've tried locally, and they are asking 60 bucks only for balancing the stock steel DS I currently have...
I only wish to spend money on this subject once.
