If you’re looking to give your 2004 Pontiac GTO a serious upgrade, check out this Carbon Fiber single piece driveshaft. This isn’t just some generic part; it’s designed specifically for the GTO platform, and it’s a direct bolt-on system. No need to mess around with the rear flange on the diff, which can be a real pain. Other driveshafts require you to remove that flange, and trust me, that’s a hassle because of how the crush collar works to set the pinion depth. You don’t want to mess that up.

What we’ve done here is pretty slick. We made a 7075-T6 aluminum 1350 u-joint flange that bolts right onto the three-finger flange on the rear. This means you can skip the adapter plate altogether, which makes installation a breeze. You won’t even need to drag a professional in to set the pinion lash on your differential. Just take off the factory two-piece shaft, slap on this one-piece beauty with the included hardware, and you’re golden.

There’s just one little thing to keep in mind: you’ll need to grind down the tip of the rear seatbelt bolt that sticks into the driveshaft tunnel. It’s a minor tweak, but it’s necessary to ensure the driveshaft has enough clearance.

Now, let’s talk about performance. Swapping out the driveshaft is one of the best upgrades you can make. You’ll notice the difference immediately—better throttle response and a smoother ride overall. Plus, this driveshaft is lighter than the stock one, which is a big win. The factory driveshaft has that hanger bearing that can bounce around like crazy when you’re pushing the car hard, which can be dangerous and just robs power from your drivetrain. This driveshaft can handle up to 997 lb-ft of torque based on a shock factor of 3.5, so you know it’s built to take a beating.

Fitments:

  • 2004 Pontiac GTO ONLY 6-Speed Manual and Automatic

Notes:

  • 1-Year Warranty
  • Features the billet aluminum direct fit rear flange, no plate required.
  • Only modification needed is grinding down the rear seatbelt bolt for clearance.

This isn’t just another upgrade; it’s a game changer for your GTO. Get ready to feel the difference!

Who Is The Driveshaft Shop? | Driveshaft, Axles, Upgrade Kits

What is the use of a 1000-horsepower vehicle if you cannot effectively transfer it to the wheels? HP is not the only thing professional builders look at when upgrading a vehicle's performance. Each component plays a critical role in making a car go fast, and the driveshaft is one of them.

The driveshaft is responsible for transferring your engine's power to the differential to your wheels. It is the reason why when you upgrade your engine, it is best if you also upgrade this component. And when it comes to the driveshaft, one name stands out, and that is The Driveshaft Shop.

How It All began

For more than 40 years, The Driveshaft Shop (DSS) has designed and produced many driveshafts used in numerous record-setting race cars. It is the leader in high-quality aftermarket axles and driveshafts for high-power automotive racing applications. The Driveshaft Shop has a driveline solution for your modified vehicle from drag racing to drifting and offers high-performance one-piece driveshafts and heavy-duty axle shafts for several late-model performance applications.

Not Your Typical Off-The-Shelf Product

The Driveshaft Shop doesn't just build driveshafts using off-the-shelf products. It's a full-on CNC machine shop that manufactures all its components in-house. It allows them to control how they manufacture their products and helps the company keep their high standard in place.

Continuous Improvement

The Driveshaft Shop continues to grow and research daily and strives to keep up with the ever-changing automotive industry. It is dedicated to producing racing driveshafts regardless of the many challenges involved.

It is because modern-day engines have much higher horsepower, torque, and RPM figures with more complicated suspension systems and better transmissions. In short, a good manufacturer needs to know a lot more today to produce the perfect quality driveshaft, and DSS is capable of and does just that!

Why Choose The Driveshaft Shop?

The company offers driveshafts in aluminum, steel, Chromoly, and now carbon fiber so that they can design a solution for your individual needs and preference. Every axle and driveshaft built by The Driveshaft Shop uses only the finest materials and latest manufacturing techniques as they become available.

Moreover, each driveshaft produced by The Driveshaft Shop is dynamically balanced at over 9000 RPMs to ensure unmatched quality and reliability. Its direct-fit IRS axles are rated up to 1400 horsepower for extra strength when added to drag racing and supercharger applications.

A Driveshaft For Your Every Need

The brand offers a range of products for Audi, Honda, BMW, Acura, Nissan, Porsche, Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, Volkswagen, and many others. If you need a "not immediately available" part, the Driveshaft Shop will custom make one for you. The brand doesn't play around when it says, "We Specialize In The Impossible."
