Two piece conversion would be my suggestion. Stock shafts are rated to something like 105mph, so I'm not surprised that at 130 yours came apart like that.

Yeah man mine was a custom made driveshaft built for the 4l80 because the stock 4l60 driveshaft would not work anymore due to its length. Two piece driveshafts are mainly for crew cab/extended cab vehicles. But thanks for the feedback bro.

If yours was custom made when it blew apart it was because it was too small in diameter or not balanced properly.
