wow that was hard....try searching
im going to edit myself.....i just did some searching for diffusers and it looks like if you want one....your going to have to make one. read this site http://specialprojectsms.com/index.php?categoryID=30 itll give ya a basics of how and why they work, as well as how to make one.....fiberglass ftl but start there and make one out of aluminum or c/f if you have the know how

that looks goofy as hell tho the way it sticks out the sides
function over form. that is IF your able to use it for its purpose...If not then its just for bling hahaha.
I took an STI rear diffuser and made it fit onto mine. Works pretty damn well. Looking to make me a front splitter once I hit the tracks this fall season

I haz fast fingaaaa
guess what i was saying is it suppose to stick out that much on the sides???
my thought of a diffuser is to flow under the car....basically cutting off all drag from crap thats under it. not to just stick lower. i mean most cars with diffusers also have an undertray to increase the effectiveness of the diffuser. and to me...i think they should mold well into the bottom of the rear bumper. not only that but should flow into the undertray of the car itself to form one piece. if you just have a diffuser on, and not the undertray theres still pockets where air can get up under the diffuser causing more drag....just my opinion
sticks out too much on the sides....and plus they dont have a pic of one installed on a eg. also not enough for what i would want.
this....idk

Well, I think the reason it sticks out from the sides that much is because air also gets into the wheel wells before it exits through the back of the car. I think what they are doing is trying to take the turbulence out of the air that is exiting the wheel wells and act as a kind of wind tunnel that will suck the car down.
Yeah. I understand what your getting at. And it does make sense to me about the undertrays increasing the effectiveness of the diffusers. There's alot of theories that goes around certain proclaimed " aerodynamic " parts that some of these companies out there produce.
Here is a link were I find alot of good reads about aerodynamics with diffusers and splitters.

Yezzir. Vacuum suction
good find... still say if your going to get a diffuser or even use one, it would be beneficial to make a whole undertray for the car... which from what ive been reading so far today really isnt that hard to do...if you know how to do fab work with either aluminum, fiberglass or carbon fiber.
i think im going to do some research into manufacturing eg undertrays, using my car as the hampster.... at least get the dimensions out there...then write up a how to.
maybe go into making one off or custom c/f, fiberglass or aluminum products for people.....like a made to order thing.
plywood.....???? wtf....lol
cant see s**t
Whaoo nice plywood stuff, any write up? Lol old thread but I been looking for these again
