Default Axles?

What is available out there other than stock?

Is it worth it to get something other than stock?

IMO, not unless you're making good power. Remember: Wheel hop is the axles' biggest enemy!

To be honest, I don't really know. Usually, everyone is more concerned with other things. I guarantee that you will too. Your axles are good for a lot of power. Just watch out for wheel hop; turbo guys bend axles due to hop which is a traction issue.

Unless you are going to run insane amounts of the boost, you wont really need aftermarket axles.

I got mine at NAPA after my ghetto ass tried to do the boot myself. It leaked because I couldn't get the clamp down hard enough with the gay tool I had.
