        lol, put the one piece steel on your car and forget about it. You aren't going to go any faster with an aluminum one. (dont take me wrong, I'm just trying to help you save money) I had a one piece steel that came on my 1999 V6, no vibrations at all, not sure why someone would claim that they all vibrate?! I find that hard to believe. If you really are stuck on having a piece that is a handful of pounds lighter than what you have now.. dont spend over 75. I've seen many people get ripped paying like 150 for these when other times they sell for 50-75 bucks used. Also watch out for some of them out of A4 cars, around 1999 some A4 cars had a "pinging noise" from the driveshaft every now and then that is annoying and cannot be fixed.

            hey a buddy of mine ripped his alum d/s in pieces at the track but i wouldnt suggest a steel one. the vibration i would agree with. 4 out of 5 of my camaros had steel 1 pieces and my v6 had a 2 piece and all of them vibrated well i noticed a smoother ride when i put in the alum. im not sure how much power your putting down or how much your looking to spend. but there are many of D/s out there that will hold any amount of power you throw at it and you wont have a problem . good luck

                  I am not putting down much, and dont know what my plans are.
                  My dads car has a custom aluminum D/S so thy have to hold some power.


                  I just want a stock one so im not spending a ton

                      Not needed on my car though.
                      And for what one costs why bother.
