Hope something more street wise comes. This looks to be 100% functional for the track guys, but something less aggressive, less height on the down vertical parts, with less lip out and less width would look nicer for the street minded/looks people. As much as I admire the function part it is abit too large for me for sure.

Honestly a street car doesn't need this. A street car can roll with the OEM useless part and look good. This is for the track guys like you said. It's impossible to build something that fits both forms of use.

This is such a huge compliment for me. It's freaking sweet to see my stuff going onto other people cars.

Any idea if this diffuser will work with the Borla Catback? Tips a bit bigger than other catbacks (4.25" tips vs mostly 4" tips )?

Do you think you can show pictures of the attachment points w/o the rear spats? I have the Rally Armor mudflaps... will the diffuser still fit?

The diffuser stays just how the photos show, they cut small sections out of the rexspeed spats. Should be ok with mudflaps but I can say for sure.

Sweet, I haven't installed or known anyone with flaps, so this isn't something I was able to test personally.

Just cause I haven't seen anyone ask... would this clear the mufflers in the SRT exhaust? I'm at tad worried that the angle of the SRT mufflers has them sitting too low for this.

Confirmed Exhaust Fitment:
Stock Exhaust
FT-86 SpeedFactory V1
FT-86 SpeedFactory V2
Invidia N1
Perrin 2.5"
Perrin 3"
Nameless

Everything else needs to be tested. If the exhaust has a similar design to the ones above it "should" work.

Example the Greddy Evo 3 should fit as it's close to the N1 in style.

I would also like to add that there isn't any issues with any aftermarket sway bar/end link or control are setup.

The ground clearance is better than the 3" Perrin exhaust.
