Their advertisement is to the left side of this page, along w/ many others. Just click on the ad, and it will come up. Their ad is about half way down. You could also try RPM Transmission. Ad is to the left and out of Indianna as well. Good luck.

FYI the C5Z06 shafts are considered a major upgrade for the C6Z06 guys... the CV jonit is far superior. It's very rare that people need to upgrade them, but there are a few companies out there making them and they're very pricey. Typically the weak link is the driver's side output shaft.

wheel hop is probably the major killer of those shafts.
