yeah, but still a bit suprise to see
going to wrap the exhaust at mid pipe all the way to muffler , too see it will help or not

did you have oversize diff cover on ur 8 ?

Well somebody else did that and I wouldn’t. I’m not allowed to run a different diff cover, except I think it’s being considered as a new rule allowance next year or the year after. For track use you still need a pump and cooler regardless.

The S2 cover can be ran in DSP, but if not limited by the rules, I would go with a standalone cooler.

I have an S2 diff, but the reference was a aftermarket cover with larger oil sump capacity. They also already have the cooler hose bungs, temp sensor port, etc.

i’m kind of doubting that little wing off the S2 cover does much. It’s a major pitb to get a wrench around when removing the diff bushing bolt on that side I almost took a cutoff wheel to it the last time, lol

Let see this will work or not ~

If you’re just sitting and revving high; sure, but at speed there’s a lot of air going through and around everything back there.

Will find out tomorrow
Since I am going to track day again~

for what is worth,
the RE Amemyia exhaust comes with a double thickness wrap for that area,
which i think in google translate suggested it was to reduce heat to the diff.

They hype a lot of stuff up to justify their ridiculous pricing. That’s how it works over there.

This will works on solo2 condion
When there is no enough air flow

I’ll assume that means the results were just as expected then; nada.
