What pictures are you looking for precisely and I will do my best to take photos of it.

We will not have any photos of the revised trailing edge until this first production run is finished (5-6weeks).

Are the optional diff covers compatible with the JDM/Series.blue rear underbody panels?

They have not been test fit with the JDM under body panels yet. Looking at photos, we do not think they will work together without some cutting of one or the other.

We have our own plans to continue forward with our own design which should benefit the car more than the the JDM under body panels.

I would like to see an image further back with the whole car in it like the shots posted of the TRD Griffin car earlier in the thread. Also a picture a bit further back of the rear, but a little higher up than the ones that were posted previously (as you would likely see it while standing at the rear of the car).

Nice work with this one guys

I'll work on that in the coming weeks. Currently the car doesn't move due to the intake manifold test fitting.

While we did the CFD work for DWL rear diffuser, as well as our own, we do not feel comfortable comparing the two directly.

Our goal (both FT-86 and Velox) was to produce the highest downforce producing diffuser on the market yet, while keeping it affordable, adaptable (front covers), and of course good looking. We believe we achieved this.

Now since it doesn't fit the tomei 80r we need a replacement/alternative. 3 inch TI center exit please.

We were able to test fit an OEM exhaust this weekend. This diffuser does not fit the OEM exhaust currently. The pipe goes under the rear subframe then abruptly makes a turn to the driver's side which causes interference of the diffuser.

We are looking into a way to fix this while keeping the diffuser at it's maximum functionality.

Thanks,
Eric

So the list on the website of suitable exhausts is what the production version will suit? I want to order but it seems I may not get what I expect.

We're doing our best to get an accurate count of which exhausts will fit the diffuser. Please be patient as we work through this. Both companys stand behind the product, rest assured no one will be disappointed in the end.

Thanks,
Eric

That can is absolutely huge!

We just finalized a design iteration we believe will allow the OEM exhaust to fit above the diffuser. However, we cannot confirm if it will fit until production is finished in 5-6 weeks. We believe we just fixed the fitment issue. We want to be as transparent as possible though to ensure everyone is on the same page. Fitment issues will likely arise though with the large amount of exhausts on the market and we will work with each customer on that as those arise. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Centrally located exhausts should all fit without any issues.

Thanks,
Eric
