Also, for air that actually gets in there, I think it would safely flow right out from the area around the exhausts.

I'll post pics from different angles after it goes on.

are the vortex generators at the ends permanently connected and do you have to use them or can the single diffuser piece be used without them? Thanks for the pics.

Although I have spent a lot of time on my back looking at the undercarriage of my Z, I looked at the area where this goes again, and I can see that two things are going on.
A rectangular crossbeam about 3 to 4 inches deep crosses the trunk bottom toward the front of the car in relationship to the stock muffler location.
The huge aluminum crossmember that the suspension bolts to is in front of that.
So, my thought is, if this piece's front edge (the edge toward the front of the car) is higher than the low part of the first crossmember, then little or no airflow will "push down" on this part, which was one thing I wondered about when it was reveled that it only attached at the sides and rear.
Now vacuum is another animal.
