Good luck actually getting the product in a timely manner, getting it in good condition, or even at all.

Hope they don't disappoint.

I'm assuming he got it via Ebay from Show Stoppers, they're the same people I got my Asuka CF roof cap from. I had it in 2 weeks.

Yup, showstoppers were banned for sending broken parts and quite a few people received incomplete diffusers(missing sides and brackets), some never even got anything. Although I did get my diffuser from them in good shape(that was a while before they got banned).

Last time I checked, Mastergrade doesn't keep these in stock. I thought they only make one if you pay for it in advance, and then you'll have to wait a few weeks. And if I remember correctly, their price was pretty close to what the authentic TS diffuser cost. The one I had was made by Bumperfarm/Auto Infantry, so it was a pretty limited edition since they didn't stick around on this forum for long

Hey does anyone know if the diffuser will fit with the HKS true dual exhaust?. Or if it needs much modification?.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Injen(similar design) and I had to cut some of the backside on the diffuser to fit

i can't really tell how smooth your cuts are but be carefull jagged edges on carbon is prone to cracking.
