Is replacing your diif cover with an aftermarket unit/product a good idea?

Interesting info here Geoff. Thanks for posting it. Sometimes fancy and shiny isn't the answer.

I watched all the episodes and finally realized this guy is marketing his own new product so let’s leave that there.

I agree with most of his “fluid dynamic” theories (I studied thermodynamics tweede jaar twice, just to be sure I knew everything. ) but we will only know over the long term if they make any difference at the end of the day.

This guy is very OCD

I also watched most of some of the videos.
On the one video we were halfway through & he was still telling me about the testing protocols.
If you cant make your point in the 1st 3 minutes your point isn't worth hearing.
He should rather put an executive summary in the beginning and give you the option of listening to the drivel if you have the time & patience.

What I did learn though is that the OEM Diff covers to a fantastic job.
