I believe they are the same length to help avoid torque steer.


Here is a direct quote from GM serive info describing the int shaft.

The intermediate drive shaft (IDS) is used with regular production option (RPO) LSJ, to permit the use of equal length wheel drive shafts, and thus eliminate torque steer during heavy acceleration. The IDS incorporates a male spine which mates to the transaxle. The IDS is supported and maintained in position by a sealed bearing mounted within a bracket that is bolted to the engine block. The IDS incorporates a tone wheel which is used by the vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
