C7Carbon | Rear Diffuser Race Edition for C5 | 3D DESIGN in development, chime in!!!
#42
The update is a solid improvement, brings the back end closer to 2018. Since the outlet for the exhaust tips is now enclosed, will the diffuser accommodate most aftermarket sizes? The rendering looks like a "tight fit".

The thread is titled Race Edition
To me, this implies something designed to be functional on the racetrack.
Look at the diffusers on the C5R and C6R for functional designs.
You're getting pretty as an attractive street version, and I question its usefulness on the racetrack.
I want something that maximizes racetrack benefit.

Use the existing C7R racing version rear defuser ...modified to fit C5.
Hi Everyone, We are currently developing a new Rear Diffuser for the C5 Corvette, starting out with a digital 3D scan for the most accurate reference as possible. The Diffuser's development will take place on cutting edge 3D modeling software and 3D prints. We would love to hear your thoughts, help us build that Rear Diffuser you've always been looking for your C5!

Here are some 3D scans that we are currently working with to start out our first prototype renders:
Let's make it happen!

C7 the updated diffuser looks much better! personally I'm looking for something much more functional as well... to the point where I'm looking to possibly make my own... I think to get it fully functional i'll have to do a side exhaust to get it out of the way kind of like this.....
perhaps you could make the diffuser more modular? so for some folks that do have the exhaust "out of the way" you can have a deeper center divergent duct .....just a thought...

I would love to see a final product. I have the Callaway double-D exhaust and having this would be ****! Please email me when you have something ready.

I don't think either are correct. The slits are covered by the muffler, very little air passes through there. There is no reason to cool the mufflers. They are there to break up the surface area for styling. Note that the C6 has no such vents, and the area is empty and would grab much more air.

This looks a lot better than the first render, more sleek and not bulky. It would be even better if it covered the underneath as well so that our pocket of a rear bumper wont be so harsh.
