i would change it out if you want to drive down to s.c. i have the shop to do it and could have you back on the road the same day

The only reason you'd have to change the D/S is if you went with a different trans.

For Ex. The 03+ Cobra D/S is shorter than the GT's. That's the one you'd need if you decided to go with the T-56.

Is there a difference in driveshaft length between the solid axel and the irs? If so, what do I need to buy?

The driveshaft on the IRS is shorter. If you look in the SVT forums you will see that most people that buy a Aluminum Driveshaft get the GT one and have it shortened.

Absolutely correct! I have a 03 Gt and made the swap earlier this summer. I had to use the Cobra driveshaft. It's about an inch shorter. I also swapped exhaust with my doner and I have to say I love the flows..

At first I had an auto GT and when we did the swap we just swapped the yokes on the driveshafts and i got the cobra shaft with the auto yoke... I got BAD vibrations so I decided to buy a new GT Automatic shaft and it went on pefectly... no play... nothing

then i changed the transmission to the t45 and I used the manual driveshaft that i got stock with the tranny... it fits perfectly and i have no play... so in conclusion i have to say that the driveshaft should still fit


And bout the exhaust... I love my Mac Catback with BBK o/r h pipe... it's really calm in the down low, but once i start rowing those gears... oh man the world's coming to an end
