Yup, mine is staying stock as well. I don't know if I would throw the aluminium shaft in the there though. I trust the stock steel over that for long term use.

 

The aluminum is rated for higher HP and it is lighter. It is a GM factory unit that came in the Camaro SSs and the Pontiac Firehawks.

My 93 is a M6 hard top. The 2000 Ls1 is a T-top A4.

 

Ah, okay. I was playing around with the idea of one, seeing as I'll be dropping my drive shaft to replace u-joints here when we pull back in. The aftermarket ones are very specifically rated at no more than 400ft/lbs of torque at the wheels, and they state that you shouldn't run anything other street tires with them. I would suppose an OEM unit would have thicker sidewalls and be built up a little better for more torque.
