Been wanting to do a T56 Magnum XL swap for the past year or so in my 2006 GT, and I think I'm gonna pull the trigger finally.

I've found everything I need except for the driveshaft. Driveshaft Shop is like 2 months out on all orders. Shaftmasters is another option, but they are confusing. They have a driveshaft for 2005-2010 Mustang GTs with the T56 Magnum (non-XL) which I didn't think even fit in S197s. They also have an option for 2011-2014 Mustang GTs with the T56 Magnum XL.

Now, the Driveshaft Shop T56 Magnum XL shaft says it fits all 2005-2014 cars that have been swapped. So, would the Shaftmasters 2011-2014 driveshaft fit my 2006 just fine? They should be the exact same length if the DSS one fits all S197s right?

probably worth a phone call or e-mail to Shaftmasters to ask them directly; last time I called them about a possible balance problem in my D/S they were very knowledgeable and helpful

I gave them a call and emailed them but I'm still confused. They said their driveshaft for 05-10 Mustangs with the non-XL magnum swap is 5/8" shorter than the 11-14 driveshaft for Magnum XL swapped cars. But the Magnum XL is like 4 or 5 inches longer from tip of input shaft to end of tailhousing so it's not possible for one to be non-XL and the other be for the XL with that small of a length difference. I'd assume the 05-10 supposedly non-XL is actually an XL and it's a typo on their website?
