Rear Diffuser with No Exhaust Holes

Hey guys

i searched but could not find anything other than the FT86 Speedfactory deletes but was wondering does anyone know of or make a rear diffuser for this car that blocks off BOTH exhaust holes?

Reason why...

Contact Carl at http://drivewaylabs.com/. He made an exit block thing to cover the hole if I remember correctly. Plus he makes better diffusers.

Damn your car

It's like stealth but not stealth at the same time

And you have the same scratch from the license plate that I do.

Just curious, how are you going to avoid sucking rocks, birds, or small children into your turbo?

You could probably cover the holes with fiberglass. If you wanted to go all out you could sand the slight lip around the holes down and make it a smooth curve.

Speed factory is selling the DWL diffuser, but you are correct that Carl is the guy to speak with. There is a guy local here in AZ that has very similar diffuser, but it has not been aero tested to my knowledge and I don't know he has exhaust exit blocks as he is using his.

The fabrication work for a block isn't terribly hard to do, I would bet, but I am using a dual exit set up.

I'd still add a diffuser, but I'm not trying to thread jack.

We have a mesh screen around the inlet to prevent larger things like children from becoming precision stew
