I hadn't realized there was an aero component to the center exit design. My apologies. How much of a difference are you seeing in cd between the center exit and twin exit? |

I can't say exactly what kind of benefits the center has over the twin tip. We have spent a lot of time on the under-car aero and this design fit our needs (for the time being). With this kind of aero project we just listen to the pros, smile and nod. Disclaimer- To those considering this center exit for aero purposes, be aware that we have a custom designed aero package. A single component by itself may or may not make a huge difference. Each piece is a collective part of the entire car. |

Nope. I really like looks-wise damd/prova rear bumper/diffuser w. center exhaust. I guess, depending on exit tips type used maybe it can be used even with this Ace's exhaust. No clue though, how it will work together if one throws also some real diffuser into picture.

I like this exhaust. If I weren't going to a fully custom center exit design I came up with specifically for a highly efficient diffusor I'm also making, and needed to meet tight sound regulations, then it would be exactly what I'd want.
Personally I've never liked the rear 'diffusor' with twin exhaust cutouts on the FR-S... my temporary solution, spurred on by an aftermarket exhaust melting the passenger side cutout was this: GET RID OF THE STUPID FAKE FACTORY 'DIFFUSOR'. Cutting it out helped to bring more stability at high speeds too...was more unsettled than stock with the rear plastic in place without a stock type muffler. Eventually, once I get the custom exhaust mocked up then fabbed there will be a custom diffusor in store - like that of the TRD Griffon. Almost all of the premade diffusor solutions still use the stock 'diffusor'....meaning they won't be as efficient as a complete solution designed around a low profile center exit race exhaust that allows you to get rid of that factory nonsense. The Diode Dynamic Tail as Turn module works great for reverse, especially with the XP80 LED bulbs. Way better than stock, which is pretty useless as a reverse light other than as an indication to others that you are in reverse.
