pretty much around what I was thinking in US funds. I live in Canada so add pretty much double to that price. lol
I doubt I will need a 2 pc, but I am sure I will need a dual cardon.
curious to see what people suggest for material and diameter

I paid around 1000 total for the one i had built by a local semi shop, including billet yokes on both ends.

Damn, that bad to get things across the border? It's all about critical speed. I let them know what gears and tires I had as well as transmission. And asked that the shaft be capable of 8100 RPM. Probably faster than I'll ever take it, but I wanted some margin.

yeah it is brutal with our dollar, brokerage and shipping.
I figure if I am gonna get a driveshaft made I should get one that I wont have to worry about.
my brother had a 2pc inland empire in his 92rclb and he was happy with it aswell. he paid around $1200cdn for it
