FRS/BRZ/86 OEM Diffuser & TRD Exhaust?

Trying to get an idea of what the OEM Diffuser (seen on the BRZ) looks like with the TRD Catback Exhaust (non quad tip). I did a short search on the forums and google without much luck.

Perhaps a photoshop image? Any help appreciated.

Imo. I think it would look awkward, there would be a gap in between the exhaust tip and the diffuser.

I just saw one the other day. Didn't look good IMO. The tips look way to small with the diffuser on there. I think a 4.5" tip will look best.

You're right. The gap is too large.

That would be to big, that might make it look like a ricer. I have 2.5' and it looks suttle. 3' might be a perfect fit.

Look at the Perrin 4" tips vs the Milltek 4.5" tips. I think the Milltek look soooo much nicer and fit the cut out perfectly.
