The yoke on the front is channeled, so it only goes in 1 way. There are 4 bolts on the rear so I tried 4 different positions, but it always vibrated badly above 70mph. Frustrated, I took it to a local shop and they confirmed that it's not straight. I contacted Mpower318 and this was his reply:
"Sir...i had no problem when i had it on my car...i didn't understand why u say is not straight... This is a good drive shaft when i sold it to u...now it is in yours hands and on your car after so many days...how you want me to be response to it after it was on your car sir? Sorry sir...the only thing i can do is help you contract the company who sold it to me..."
Bullshit...
DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!!

When I put the OEM drive shaft back on, it didn't vibrate at all. I was also surprised by how much hp I had lost putting that bent POS on my car!

You should do what CSG mike said, plus a little extra if you want to get your money back.
Looking at this original post:

He does say that it "worked great", and his thread suggests it works fine even though his wording is off.
"This is like new......very low miles"
@
ichitaka05 is it possible to lock the linked thread or something so @
Hadalet can use it as evidence if he decides to go to small claims or something.
Also @
Hadalet you should submit feedback about his sale here, as well as screenshot and save all correspondences to a folder on your computer:

At least to prevent others from being ripped off.
Also quick research shows that in LA you can go after him easily at very little cost in small claims:

It may be difficult to prove that he intentionally sent a broken part though
