Stock Driveshaft vs Aluminum

How much does a oem driveshaft weight in? I know an aluminum one is at 10.65 lbs.

It's a marginal improvement. The effort is better spent removing weight elsewhere.

NA or TII? It makes a difference, the TII one is larger in diameter, so heavier and more rotational inertia.

I'm not adding this to my car, I'm just wondering. N/a and turbo aluminum shafts weight pretty much weight the same.
