Default Coupler delete driveshaft

I am looking for a coupler delete driveshaft for my 01 A4.

I 've tried calling Hinson Motorsports but they do not pick up and mailbox is full.

Anybody have a line on a different source?

Thanks, Jim

Not sure if they'd be able to help but RPM transmissions is a very reputable company. They might be able to point you in the right direction at minimum.

They are expensive, but one of the best out there from what I hear on the street!

Definitely curious about increases in noise and vibration without the couplers.

I guess the need for speed never goes away,huh? ...at any age. Once you have broken the sound barrier in a T-38...how do you top that?

"Once you have broken the sound barrier in a T-38...how do you top that?"

At night, in an A-6 Intruder diving from 15,000 feet down to 3,000 feet at full throttle with 28- 500 pound bombs on the airplane, with enemy tracers flashing past the canopy, crossing the target at 550 knots (630 mph) in bumpy air.
