[QUOTE="'14 Shelby, post: 14231476, member: 138681"] I read through this whole thread a while back, but post 272 explains the benefit of the diff catch can. Although I won't be fabbing my own can. I pasted the link and the text on J3ST3RS set up [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?852236-Project-DRKHRSE-2013-GT-Build&p=14230607#post14230607[/url] [I]The factory diff cover has a little vent cap at the top of it, that provides some venting for the rear end when the temperature rises.
