Default Which diffuser looks best?

I'm thinking of getting a diffuser.

Can't decide though. I like that nothing needs to be drilled in the Borla one, but it's more expensive.
The ACS ones seem like they have to be and are a couple hundred cheaper.
Ivan Tampi ones I like but look a tad bit tacky and outrageous and very expensive so probably not getting those.

If you just want the fins, ACS is the way to go. Borla won't fit without their exhaust, so if you have that it could work, I'm not a huge fan of the look though. Ivan Tampi is too busy for my taste. WeaponX makes the best looking fin integrated diffuser, it's just super pricey because it's CF.

I voted Other as I have a CF WeaponX diffuser. Awesome looks and top quality construction.

Your poll would be better if you posted a pic of each one.

What is the composite option on the website? Is it just bare grey fiberglass color/unpainted?

Just so we have some reference.

I personally have the C3 carbon ones. Yes I like them but figment sucked and since they are out of business it really doesn't matter. I wished Borla worked without their exhaust and the Ivan ones were at a reasonable price.

Thanks for that. I was needing that info too. I don't plan on changing the exhaust so that one's out.

How are they installed?
Line up and tape on the provided template

Drill a few holes

Contort arm and due up fasteners.

Crack a cold beer.

35-40 minutes tops.

Who made the first one? Very nice but too aggressive for a daily.
