all driveshafts from 93-02 will work. what year is your car? if you have the two piece driveshaft his would help. though alot of folks go with the one piece aluminum from ls1's. lt1 is one piece steel

the steel one isn't bad as it is a one piece and lighter than your current one. the aluminum one is even lighter though. the aluminum ones are usually $100-150.

Weight would be less, balance is balance. The LS1 light weight alum drive shaft is a common upgrade for the V6's

V6 used a 2-piece supposedly to dampen out vibrations but the one piece works fine. I converted to a 1-piece steel without any issues although I wished I had gone to the aluminum one.
