Rear Diffuser WeaponX or RK sport
Hi. I was just wondering has anyone install the rear diffuser on their C7? and which one they have done. The RK sport is roughly $250 cheaper. Just curious if the fit is different. Any help is great help Thanks in advance

Weapon X makes these parts specifically for the C7 and CTS-V.
RK Sport makes parts for Cavaliers.
Your choice.

I can tell you that no modification is needed for mine to fit; however, since RKS chose to make the middle wider to accommodate foreign license plates, that last I heard, the plastic crush zone needed trimmed for theirs to sit properly.

I'll add that the customer service with Ben at WeaponX is also worth mentioning. He's not just a vendor, he's an enthusist like many of us making an honest business of his passion. Plus - his diffuser is badass!

I have quite a few diffusers out there now with plenty of reviews

Ben's has the best "OEM" look to it for those of you that want the part to look factory. Not too aggressive, and not too bland. Just right in that regard. Personally, I like something a little bit more aggressive such as the Borla diffuser which looks like freddy kruger's sticking his claws out the back of the car. I am surprised in general that there aren't more diffuser styling options out there though I must say..

yes unfortunately that is indeed the case. I would like to make a bracket adapter to get one mounted without their muffler requirement because I like their design, but I am overall against their philosophy that you must buy one to get the other in this regard..
