I am pretty sure that is the stock 2 piece (now 3 piece) driveshaft.
Here is another broken driveshaft, but this one is from a MK3 (600+whp), and it is a one piece carbon fiber driveshaft.

And just for the hell of it, this happened on the same day the white mk3 snapped the CF driveshaft.
Before:
After:
Like vin diesel said in F&F, he blew the welds on the intake.
Nitrous went off while the throttle plate was closed durring a shift, when it opened the built up pressure exploded everything. For the record, this MK3 made a 799whp dyno pull about 5 hours earlier (stock bottom end) and still coasted to a low 11 second ET when this incident happened.
