even at 3k thats a a ****-ton of moeny to dump into jsut a differential. I'd be way more likely to make the 09V rear fit into an older one and have something thats stock still stronger if not stronger and with a lot less headache and the need for custom 2 off parts and the hassel of more moeny invested into having a shop set up the gears and everything else

I wasn't looking to expose confidential info. The previous undertaking resulted in a $7+K prototype and a marginal per unit production cost of over $5K excluding internals. Any successful project will presumably need to arrive at a different result.
My research on the other forum indicates that the CTS differentials are very close - perhaps identical except for exterior fins. There are some units with, and some units without, Limited Slip, which may or may not involve different internal dimensions. The pinion to driveshaft points differ between the CTS and the CTS-V. Finally, there are differences between the GenI, GenII, and GenIII cases.
The ring gear size is 41 teeth.

After exploding my last diff, the case is the only thing that went bad, the gears and etc are still good.
Im going to atemp to swap my internals into the cts case, and then I might have to buy a CTS-V pinion . This way Ill have a spare diff for just a few bucks.
The part number Diff I bought is 10361308 , which still has 3.73 gears but I dont think it has limited slip.
Any one know how I can find out if the Diff I bought has limited slip ?
