Default Napa or OEM Drive Shafts for B18B-T?

I need some drive shafts for my soon to be B18B Turbo. Does anyone have any experience with Napa drive shafts (new or remanned)? My other option would be to go with OEM remanned for a slightly higher price. My turbo setup will be under 300HP and i will not be launching the car at all (just a daily driver).



Any advice?

Thanks!

i ran used ls axles all last year launching at 6200rpms on 24.5 slicks. preloading of course. to answer your question any axles will be fine but i reccomend autozone lifetime warranty axles so when something does happen you get a new one for free.

i've always used reman's from napa, keep your proof of purchase and you'll have the same warranty. i've never had problems from them either

Well, I just slapped on the Napa's. Brand new for $84 each with LT warranty. I will only be running about 10lbs of boost, maybe in the 260 - 270 HP range with no launching so hopfully I'm good.
