2300 and the driver Axle is retired!

Gm needed to think a little bit when they built this car. I have 2300 miles on the car only and the driverside axle broke already. Stage 2 with the GMPP exhaust. Cant handle the power it snapped it clean like someone took and cut it with a knife.

Ill get pictures up but my computer is down.

every time one of those seems to go it's the exact same spot and super clean... odd.

the driveshaft shop website mentions that the stock part should be stronger... guess it's not just to sell axles.
