I spent some time and made my own, fully- functioning one for $100. Give or take some rivets.
That's awesome.

i was thinking about getting one too, but the ones most people have installed are just plastic, non-functional ones, which is what i want. i feel like it would look great with the JDM exhaust tips + diffuser combo

and how is the install on those non-functional ones?

I just bought the cosmetic OEM style.

The driveway labs style diffuser, while functional, does indeed look like @ss and reminiscent of an Adam West batmobile type rear end and most definitely "because race car".

He's working on a street version that's less "because race car" but still functional. If it's as subtle as the Borla one, but works with other exhausts then it should be a hot seller.

Now this I can jump on board for. If one like that comes out that would fit my perrin catback I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Haha, did you read my post and then post this? Because if not, you might be a long lost relative or something.
