I love mine too. All I get are compliments. Here it is on my km4sh brz. Not quite as good of a shot as the one above me.

Received mines safe and sound this morning in the new packaging. The box they're using now is a beast. There won't be any more shipping issues. Took pix, will post later.

And this is why we choose to be partners with FT86SF. Can't say enough good things about Jeremy and his team. He runs his business the way we run Velox and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Yours looks nice and tight against the bumper - did you adjust it at all? I really love this piece, but I was a bit worried about the clearance on it, but it looks fine on yours and you're lowered substantially. I was also worried about having a bit of a gap along the trailing edge between the diffuser and my exhaust since I have the Tomei 60S, but yours looks perfect!

Each exhaust system will require a different height of diffuser install. This was chosen to accommodate the immense number of exhaust systems on the market, custom and off the shelf, while keeping the exhaust cut-out hole a reasonable size. In the instructions we recommend to install it as high as possible.

Two exhausts to my knowledge need installed at the lowest diffuser position... Stock and a Greddy Evo 3 (very slight trimming necessary, revised for future production, was NOT on FT86SF website as confirmed fit). I only know this because it is what I personally have installed the diffusers on so far. As time goes on, hopefully we will know more.

The hardware kit comes with a variety of spacers so you can "tune" the height.

So I did some modification to mine to get it to fit how I wanted...

Note: I don't mind at all modifying something like this, I do it all the time. The big reason I bought this diffuser over all the others is how it curves around the bumper and does a much better job completing the rear end.

This is the area I cut out:



Plenty of room now:




The diffuser is now completely flush up against the car, no spacers needed!!! YAY!



I also cut off about 1.5" from the two middle strakes, they were scrapping on my driveway (The only place I've scraped with them so far too... oh well, still looks good)

Sweet I was going to mention paint as well, but figured I'd already given you a hard enough time. It looks so much better in the highest position. I didn't think I would want to cut it, but now, seeing the difference.... my mind is changing.

Thanks,

Stock Exhaust Fitment

Alright guys, I've seen it numerous places that it doesn't fit with the stock exhaust and plain and simple... it does. What pictures do I need to post beyond the two below of my own car, with a production diffuser, fitting a completely stock OEM exhaust?
