Maybe if that was a section of exhaust with radiant heat but it's not.

In otherwords it's not a simple design flaw, nor is it a critical design flaw as you eluded to.
I never called it a flaw, i just said that it would have been better to follow the lines of the oem piping to go around the diff... When the car is sitting still and running is when it will have the most affect on the diff... Like i said, just adding heat to a part that doesnt need anymore than it already generates...
