On my 08 differential the vent is on the passenger side and cleared my over axle pipe.

When I built a 1" per side shortened differential I used a 13 GT500 housing and the vent is on the drivers side. It clearly does not work with the suspension aired out!

Worked fine on my 07GT. On the passenger side. No interference with the exhaust.

OK I found it, are you just taking the Intake kit and modifying it for the diff?

OK again, are you talking about the 120.00 breather for the diff? The turkey baster breather is looking a whole lot better!!

Here you go:

Sorry about the PM thing, maybe there's a setting wrong or something? Might explain why I've never received a PM on this forum.

Regarding the Borla Touring exhaust, next to my MGW shifter this is my favorite mod. I removed the stupid under hood sound tube and I think the car is actually quieter at cruise than with the sound tube and stock mufflers - until you romp on it. I like to hear the engine but I don't care who else can hear it so the touring exhaust is perfect for me. The fit was perfect too.
