Default Diffusers?

Would you guys have liked the rear diffusers to be present, as in the Viper? My friend and I worked on his 03 SRT this past weekend, and I got an intimate look at the underside of the car, thought the diffusers are kinda cool looking. But with the 4 exhaust tips in the way, I don't know what GM could've done. The C6-R has them right? Where are that car's exhaust tips located?

Yep - C6R has side exhaust, but that's much easier when you just have pipe between the engine and the outside world without the need for mufflers and cats.

I think there could still be diffuser treatment with the rear pipes, some other cars have it, but in order to do that the pipes have to be more fully integrated into the rear end, which reduces aftermarket options etc.
