Rear Diff Swap
I spoke(email) to Stu(the editor of the article) and he referred me to the Shop that did the work. I then spoke(actually via phone) to the shop owner/craftsman who did the work.
What he does is take YOUR diff opens it up takes out the guts(Ring/Pinion), and replaces them with a NEW ring/pinion whose P/N's were OEM in the 450SE/SL. And I think your car needs to have NOT come equiped with ASR. If They do all the work its @ $2600. If you ship just the Diff, its @ $2K (@$300 for Ring/Pinion + addl cost for seal etc. and of course $$$ for labor)
I too read the article as saying that they went out and found an old dead se/sl and remove the diff for parts. But think about it, the diff would probably be shot(Over 100K mi) with at least some slack/play in it.
Screw the chip, the exhaust and the K&N's for that matter....If your ONLY desire is to feel "HorsePower" do this diff swap.
