Default drive shaft coupler

Some of you refer to an ECS aftermarket joint to replace the rubber torque tube coupler; can someone give me the website link?

I have a '97 and have significant power over stock; would a z06 coupler work? Is it different than the coupe?

Thanks

The Z06 torque tube is heavier than the 1997 - 2000 torque tubes. Any manual 2001 torque tube is the same.

ECS makes a solid coupling with some other modifications to the joints.

I appreciate your response.

The lower one in the picture has a traditional joint; is take it that is the z06 shaft. So I assume that the ideal set up is a z06 shaft and the alluminum spacer/connector?

The Z06 style tubes came out in 2001 for the manual transmission.

ECS uses a traditional U-joint and a solid coupler.
