[QUOTE="foreprecision, post: 9270565, member: 42274"] First all, the primary function of the cover is for strength...there are a handful of guys out there who have shattered their OEM diff cover WITH a brace. I challenge anybody to break our piece. Just for the record, Michael (aka puzzle13) told me that he was discharging fluid with his OEM cover. I agree, our cover made his problem worse since our cover has more mass and less surface area...which is opposite of how you would design a heat sink...but this is the price you pay for the added strength. Michael runs his car on the track...and a catch can was collecting two ounces of fluid per track session in the middle of the summer with no differential cooler. He is using his own expansion tank that feed and drains from the side, so it accumulates some amount of fluid in the tank that never gets returned...and sloshes around in his tank until it gets returned. Our expansion tank will hold 8.5 ounces and feeds/returns from the bottom, so all the fluid always flows back to the axle housing on cool down. He has since installed a diff cooler, and I apologize that I don't have a lot of choices of where I can put the ports. I've done the best I can do here and am not making any changes. Likewise, I really don't have room to put a dipstick, and I'm not going to run up the cost another $100 to put in a proper sight gauge. If I remember correctly, his cover has been installed and removed several times which could have damaged the o-ring...we have a replacement o-ring if you need one. I don't agree that an expansion tank is not for street cars. It is OEM on the new GT500. Ours mounts behind the trim panels in the trunk, so it is completely unseen once installed. Michael, I'm sorry that you've had problems, but even after six months, my offer is still on the table to return the cover for a refund. Justin [/QUOTE]
