Default Rear diffuser

Anyone know of a rear diffuser that takes up the entire length of the rear car? Or that just goes in the middle where the exhaust goes?

I'm running dumps underneath the car and looking for something to fill the 'void' where the mufflers used to be.

Or know anyone that can make me something?

What would be the purpose of a diffuser along the LENGTH of the car? You may want to learn the difference between length and WIDTH


Nobody makes one because the car is not designed this way. You would have to redo your rear bumper to have one like that. I seriously doubt you have this kind of money to make you a custom bumper

Not one part of that car is a production part.

So the body looks like a Corvette, but it really isn't.

yes, it gets me off, just as much as hammering on people posting irrelevant pictures. The entire WIDTH of the car would be from one edge of the rear bumper to the other, all you posted was an aftermarket slab of aluminum still not even filling in the area where the original diffuser was, just extending lower. You really helped the OP here

To the OP, get in touch with Josh from RPI and ask him if you could get this piece without the exhaust openings, beats spending money on a new diffuser if plugging the muffler location is all you really need.
