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
Stock midpipe should fit, correct?

Looking for an update on this. Exhaust size and weight since the tomei 80r won't fit.

Sounds good Nicholas.

A few real world tests I was able to do this past week due to my car running for once! The reduction in drag is pretty impressive so far. At 70 MPH on the highway with a/c on for a 40 mile round trip, I *averaged* 37 MPG. This is up from 33 MPG without a/c. At 75 MPH on the same trip but a day later, I *averaged* 35.5 MPG.

This information shouldn't be taken as "put on this diffuser and get XX MPG" as every car is different. My calibration may be slightly better or the exhaust less intrusive, who knows. What I do know is I never got 37 MPG before at 70 MPH.

Looks good! I would be interested in possibly getting the less aggressive one mentioned for my daily commute, Thanks!
