Ford Racing 11-14 Mustang GT 5.0L MT/AT One Piece Aluminum Driveshaft Assembly

If you're looking to get more out of your 2011-2014 Mustang GT's 5.0L engine, especially if you're hitting the track or the drag strip, swapping out the stock steel driveshaft for a lighter aluminum one can make a noticeable difference. This one-piece aluminum driveshaft assembly from Ford Racing is designed to do just that, helping to free up lost horsepower by reducing rotational mass.

This assembly is constructed from a high-strength, seamless 6061-RT62 aluminum tube with a .114 inch wall thickness, making it both lightweight and strong. In fact, it weighs about half as much as the factory steel shaft but is rated to be twice as strong. It also comes equipped with 1330 high-performance U-joints, which are built to handle the increased demands of spirited driving and track use. The 3.5-inch diameter ensures it fits correctly within the drivetrain tunnel.

Swapping to a one-piece aluminum driveshaft like this can lead to quicker acceleration and lower elapsed times (ETs) at the track. While this part is designed for off-road use, its construction and performance benefits are clear. It's a solid upgrade for Mustang GT owners looking to optimize their vehicle's drivetrain for performance.
