extending diff. breather plug

i saw on here i think that you could extend your breather plug and have it come out by the gas tank nozzle. Does this add permance like HP or affect Gas Milliage or just for offroad use?

It will only help keep water out of you diff. No hp or perf. or mpg gains.

Now Bob says it adds HP, gives better mileage and increases performance. Especially if you get the "R" style breather.

In reality the true purpose is to raise the height of the breather so that you do not introduce liquids into the differential when crossing deep water. It does work well from what I have been able to gather.

That's a great deal on muffler bearings. ˟˟˟˟, I paid like 179 dollars for mine. Then I had to have them installed...it was almost 500 bucks by the time it was all said and done. Thanks for the link, Cebby....I'll shop there from now on!
