Why do you want to upgrade and for what purpose?
There's really no aftermarket upgrade for the NA driveshaft, only OEM style replacements. You can have one made at a local driveline shops to whatever spec you want (aluminum, etc.) but why? Just get a replacement with standard replaceable U-joints if you ever need a new one and be done with it.
Now depending on what model you have, there may be upgrades for the diff. The easiest would be the LSD from another 2nd gen NA if yours is open. There are Kazz options but really, not necessary for street use.
If you need a stronger drivetrain for a turbo upgrade, then the TII drivetrain is what you want.

You don't need to change the driveshaft for "driftin". An LSD type differential is probably a good thing, which you may or may not have. Since you had back seats, you probably have a GXL which is supposed to have an LSD.
Most drifters do idiotic things to their cars instead of actually spending money, so many of them just weld the diff.
