Our cars have 2 piece steel driveshafts (2000+ have 1 piece steel). Basically, a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft is far lighter than our stock ones. If the driveshaft is lighter, more horsepower gets to the wheels (less parasitic horsepower lost in the drivetrain: Heavy Driveshaft takes more power to rotate, light driveshaft takes less power to rotate)

So this doesn't increase 'Horsepower', but it increases Rear Wheel Horsepower (the kind that matters). There easy to install and you can get one for about $125.

What flowmaster do you have on there now?

I plan on getting a mail-in tune rather than a jet chip...

flowmaster 80 is just a dual outlet muffler

mail in tune is where you send your pcm into the place (pcmforless.com, texas-speed.com, etc) and they tune it...similar to a jet chip etc but a little more fine-tuned (it takes into factor your mods/power adders)...I'll prob do that once I do a cam swap or nitrous. I don't have any experience w/ jet chips so I don't know how well they work or what not
