Thanks for the consistent updates! I will be picking one up as soon as they are available!

Can you confirm the fitment on the RS 1.0?

I am pretty sure I have seen one or two, let me see if I can dig it up through our facebook.

Not yet, still trying to find time in the day to drive two hour and test fit it on a local's car. Will update once I know more.

If you guys were only 2 hrs away. You could have test fitted it on my car.

I fully believe it will fit, I just don't want to confirm it till I see it myself. The only question in my mind is the rear upturned lip due to the different bumper.

Quick and dirty (very dirty) photos of the tame design installed on my car with stock exhaust. Still trying to find the time to build another aluminum catback .



And then what my week has in store for me, a lot of long nights. Unpackaging each one, checking it over, throwing in some hardware, and then putting them on a pallet to FT-86SpeedFactory! Will do my best to get them out the door ASAP.

So.... how did it fit with the stock exhaust? Did you get away with fewer spacers?

New design looks great too! If you'd offered that first I might have gone that route.

That said I love mine and get compliments on it all the time. I also can't get over just how incredibly planted the car is. The car melts away and it feels like I'm simply willing it to turn and it reads my mind. The harder I push, the better she turns. I've never driven an NSX (too tall to fit), but when people talk about it, they seem to describe it this same way in regards to handling... it's just how the car makes me feel now. I adore it.

Yeah, if it fits the RS 1.0, I'm 100% in.

I was pretty set on the original version as I'm a fan of the more aggressive strakes, but the "tame" version came out beautifully, and is just as well integrated; it will definitely be a tough decision when I'm ready to make a purchase (still would prefer to wait and see how the install goes for someone with a Tomei 60S.)

As always, thank you @NotEric6 for the consistent updates, urgency, and ensuring the quality of the product(s) is top notch - even if that means needing to revise them.

does this shipment also include the newer "tame" design? or is the "tame" version still in final prototyping phase? i love my driveway labs diffuser i got right now, but that new version is frikkin sick!

It fits roughly the same as the previous version, just didn't have to fight it as much to get clearance. There is more than an 1/8" of clearance now, probably 3/16"?

Because of the design, the entire diffuser floats up and down the same amount, so more spacers were actually used (30mm vs. 25mm). This design choice was chosen so that no matter what height the diffuser is installed at, the same AOA (angle of attack) is achieved and thus performance is roughly the same for each height of install. Without this, different AOA would happen resulting in a loss of performance. This was verified through our CFD and we eventually plan on doing a blog about different diffuser angles to further shed light on underbody aero.

I'm located in Phoenix, come on over . I am headed to 86 fest in a few weeks and not totally opposed to doing an install in a parking lot.

I cannot find a Tomei 60S yet. Here is a single exit passenger side exhaust shot up close if it helps at all? Looking at under body pictures on google as well, it looks like it shouldn't have issues.
