I've done some reading on the subject of swapping the 2 piece monaro prop for a 1 piece type. It appears the C/F or aluminium one from the the driveshaft shop in US get the best reviews.
I have a 04, 5.7vxr monaro so from what I've read would need the 04 GTO manual propshaft as the 05/06 (6.0) have a larger diff flange.
The reason for changing is that I swapped out the centre bearing when I first got the car and original prop was rusty, during prep for repaint I inadvertently knocked a balance weight off. I also noticed the U/J was a bit notchy too.
I think these have caused a slight vibration around 50/60 mph.
Well what's the consensus, get original rebalanced and repaired or go single?

I have a CF one piece from the DriveShaftShop, it's a quality piece but obviously a bit spendy...
If it's just a balance weight etc, then I'd say get it repaired / balanced and let it live on. Once it's working nicely you can always sell it when someone needs one (it'll happen) and use that to pay for part of your shiny new one piece
If you do go to the DriveShaftShop, make an account on LS1GTO.com forum first, as historically they gave a 5 or 10% discount for forum members

JM-Imports are a big outfit and expanding, I'm sure they'll offer good service.
They certainly have some gear on their website, also just enquiring with LS performance regards a single DSS prop and trans mount cost. Hinson single props are around 300 us/d cheaper than DSS, they can also supply a trans mount in same order - anybody running one?
