Hopefully this a diffuser for street cars. There are track diffusers already out there for you guys.

Def can't wait to see. Drives me crazy that nobody ever made rear diffusers for the C5. There is one out there that is a C5/6 diffuser by breathless performance that looks awesome but limits you to single tips. I also have quad tip B&B bullets and love the look. Good luck and look forward to pics!

there are many diffusers out there for cars, and the only ones i see that are REAL diffusers are the ones on super high end cars like the McClaren P1, Ferrari 458, ect...slapping some fins on a bumper is a diffuser as much as me sticking my hand out the window.

I have been thinking of how im going to build mine. making it isnt the hardest thing. Its the cooling the trans and diff will now need.
