Thanks for the encouragement and the heads-up. Could you post a few pics of yours?

EDIT: Moot point. I just ordered an Invidia Gemini true-dual. I may test fit the diffuser with the Fujitsubo, but ultimately will be running it with the Invidia. I'm pretty sure I will need to trim the front of the diffuser in two spots to clear the pipes leading up to the muffler, but that's OK - out of sight, out of mind.

Invidia Gemini will fit with modification. The driver side rear pipe (leading up to the muffler) interferes with the front lip of the diffuser, but you don't have to cut away very much to get clearance.

^ Nope, sorry. No first-hand experience. Purely speculating, I will guess that you would have to cut out two rectangular notches in the front "lip" of the diffuser (under the car) to allow clearance for the diagonally-oriented rear mufflers or the pipes leading up to them in the TDX2 system. I believe somewhere on this thread there was someone running the Injen true-dual system which has a similar layout to the MD TDX2, and they had to make two cutouts for clearance.
It's not a big deal IMO, just start with small cuts and keep enlarging until you have clearance. Structurally I do not think you will really compromise the integrity of the diffuser.

I'm curious about the functionality of this diffuser when paired with a non OE styled exhaust i.e., an exhaust like the Motordyne TDX, or HKS. The stock (OE) exhaust canister at the rear was, to my knowledge, designed as a diffuser to efficiently move air from underneath the car. When replaced with an exhaust design resembling the TDX or HKS systems the empty space that was once filled by the large stock canister now acts like a pocket that traps air creating a parachute-like effect. Any thoughts on this or whether this diffuser aids in remedying this potential issue for those concerned?

I am considering this for my Z, does anyone know if these diffusers fit a Invidia N1 exhaust without modification?

It might actually interfere with the mufflers themselves....they look pretty large in diameter.

Might try one out soon, my friend has one I can buy if I want it. Now to see if it fits over the Motordyne shockwave V1 and Gamma. Also how hard it will be to swap exhaust at the track.

It's not. The Tomei is smaller.

You'd be looking for the fitment of an Agency Power exhaust since they share the exact same dimensions. Bad news, it doesn't fit.

I have not yet. Old pic showing my ride height (and diffuser installed) for reference. Tires are 245/35/19 f and 275/35/19 rear, with slightly less than 1 "finger" gap tire to fender front and rear:

Thanks guys for the post. I'm pretty low. I was contemplating a v3 front bumper and one of these for the rear but sketched for clearance
