[QUOTE="EvilTwins, post: 10603625, member: 62345"] I would be willing to bet that the added fluid capacity of the coated LPW would still make it superior to the stock unit for heat dissipation. Honestly I think you are really overthinking this. I believe the uncoated one would dissipate heat more effectively but not enough to stop me from getting it. It comes with all necessary stainless steel hardware which is a first for any diff cover for these cars (even the Fore was missing the drain/fill plugs), and at least it won't crack open like an egg like the stocker. There is a good bit of moving air around the differential unlike your electronic enclosure (unless it's outdoors). In that case I guess you would want the heat dissipation to be as good as possible to eliminate the need for forced air ventilation, but I don't think it's [U]that[/U] critical for this application. The only people that will run into extreme heat issues in the diff are people that open-track their cars and they should consider running diff fluid coolers. Todays synthetic fluids are much more tolerant of heat as well so I really don't think this is an issue. [/QUOTE]
