It sounds like they really don't have a set price. That's five different quoted prices to three people in this thread alone. Maybe we should track the best price that anyone's received.

I smell a group buy

Hey Ernie...other than not being able to twist, wouldn't an aluminum driveshaft be the next best thing? And at $550, you can break it twice as often and feel 1/2 as bad http://www.rotaryextreme.com/fddrivetrain.html

Only problem with aluminum is it still twists and doesn't go back like carbon fiber does. Not only that, but less rotational weight as well. Also, aluminum still trasfers alot of the driveline shock Im trying to get rid of. I figure with all the money we sink in our cars, what the hell! lol....
