2018 C5 of Year Winner
Default **Update** Breathless Performance Functional C5 Diffuser

Just talked to Ernie...

They have a C5 diffuser made but won't be able to show pics for a couple weeks...

It is very similar to the C6 diffuser with the central exhaust outlet except it will be able to allow use of say the Borla single tip dual/Magnaflows similar exhaust... The diffuser has two outlets close to the center but just big enough to fit the exhaust. He said with the holes for the exhaust it still has a nice smooth flow. The look of the diffuser that is.

The diffuser is supposed to debut at "The Corvette/C5 Bash". I can't remember exactly how he said it. He was clear that we only have to wait a couple more weeks though!

Any idea on the price? Is it fiberglass or carbon fiber?

Sorry fellas... That's all he could give me at the current time.... Didn't tell me what they were made out of either but I think they should look pretty sharp from what we've seen on the C6! Price will come in a couple weeks as well.
