[QUOTE="Tob, post: 9071323, member: 83412"] Due to the increased thickness of this cover at the flange, versus the stock steel cover, I'd say yes. The 8.8 axle, as installed on either the GT or the GT500 (or most trucks and previous V8 Mustang iterations), is typically vented atop the passenger side axle tube. Many have complained of puking through the breather as of late. Shelby actually installed a catch can that tied into the breather so as to allow gear lube to push into the can and then return to the axle - instead of spewing all over the place (you can purchase the catch can from Shelby). You could use the vent hole from this cover as a vent or you could plug it as you already have a vent atop the axle tube. Or you could tie it in as a return from either a cooler or a catch can.
