How about this one: http://ft86speedfactory.com/version-...fusor-751.html

I'll see first hand how bad the aero is with an aftermarket exhaust this weekend.

I was going to post that up earlier. Looks nice.

Another Option:

Buy the type-R TRD exhaust (expensive) and the TRD diffuser (cheap). I can only assume TRD did their homework on that one...

Let us know how the car feels after the weekend. I'm eager to hear a first hand report.

I'd rather wait and check out an American made diffuser at that price point.

I assume it's some JDM tyte yo! product.

I don't have that diffuser, I just meant without the stock exhaust

It looks identical to the TRD exhaust. Most like a replica. Interesting that it says "Will work on most aftermarket exhaust". I believe only the TRD diffuser will work on the TRD exhaust

Same here. I don't mind JDM tyte products when they work though.

Me neither, but they often come at a premium for no other reason than JDM tyte yo!

Catted diffuser! Haha Didn't think of that.

Bunny is always involved in QC'ing his dads automotive projects. He has a good nose for mistakes n such.

It extends to the rear axle. I have a custom exhaust being built so that it fits properly. Otherwise the exhaust piping would totally get in the way. Installing bumper now. Pics soon.

Can anyone guess what car this diffuser came off of? I made the grill and brackets to attach it but the diffuser itself is from another sports car an actually fits under the 86 perfectly.
