Just picked up my BRZ. Quick Question
How easy is it to remove the diffuser piece under the exhaust? I'm not the biggest fan of it |

I'd start with taking a look at the OEM Subaru rear diffuser installation instructions, assuming that is an OEM diffuser. Here is a link:

About 10 minutes, assuming you know how to use tools.

A follow-up; I just noticed you got a 2013 twin but have the shark fin-style antenna, so I suppose it is more likely that your diffuser is aftermarket (I only assume this because the price differential between OEM and aftermarket diffusers is ~$600, not judging or anything). If so, it is likely from Advan-Emotion which installs identically to the OEM diffuser, so reversing the installation instructions I linked to above should be sufficient to remove. You will have a couple holes left over in your bumper cover, but they shouldn't be visible except when under the car.
