Can't be the clutch, it has less than 10k miles on it. It was recently installed around last year in august/july. But who knows, some things just go wrong.

I doubt it's from being too low. I don't remember to clearly but I'm pretty sure the drive shaft it above the lowest part of the body so it wouldn't be able to be hit by any scrapes. possible flying rocks and such could hit it but I doubt it would do any damage to a metal drive shaft.

nah.. didnt hit a damn thing..

there is a metal sheet that is between the exhaust and drive shaft so nothing could have hit it.. just broke at the U bend part.. the other piece is MIA.. so i dunno..
