C8 Diffuser Melting
I have a 2022 C8 HTC and just installed an AWE touring exhaust. I was considering adding a diffuser but have heard reports of some of them melting. I do not track so just wondering if anyone has this set up and has installed a diffuser with good results. Thank you

Are you having any issues with your original OEM diffuser after the AWE catback install? Any clearance issues?

I have a full Paragon Maxon kit including the rear diffuser along with a MRBP catback that is pretty free flowing from most. I installed everything literally the day my car came home with 4 miles. I now have 31K+ and ZERO issues.
