Default Rear diffuser

I tried searching but couldn't find a definitive answer. Is the Evo-R rear diffuser exactly the same as the one sold by the zstore? Will it fit with a bassani exhaust?

Thanks

I don't think the diffuser makes your exhaust cut-outs any smaller so if your tips fit on your OEM bumper they should work with the diffuser.

I hope it fits. The bassani tips are huge! They barely clear the oem bumper and stick out from the bottom. The last thing I want is for them to rub against the CF finish on the diffuser once I get it.

YES&YES
The diffuser sold by the Z STORE is the EVO-R diffuser.Infact much of the CF
stuff from the Z STORE is from EVO-R.They will have a EVO-R label.
Actually,the openings on the diffuser you are looking at are larger than
the stock openings.You should have no trouble with clearance.However,
you may have a problem getting the diffuser from the Z STORE.Lately
they have been terrible about having what you want in stock.Furthermore,
when they tell you when it will be in,add another week or so.Bottom line,
the Z STORE'S service(which used to be fantastic)has gone down hill.
If you have a problem of the diffuser being out of stock,you may want to
check with EVO-R direct.

I had a feeling they were the same but I wasn't sure. I'll keep that in mind if I order from them. They have it on sale. Thanks

you might have a different exhaust because the bassani tips are by far one of the smallest tips for a 350z exhaust

Bassani exhaust tips are 90mm if I'm reading correctly, which is ~3.5 inches. I have an HKS exhaust and the tips are 120mm, ~4.7 inches. I think you'll be fine

I was under the impression that my bassani tips are big but I guess there's much bigger ones out there lol. I'll go ahead and order it tonight. Thanks everyone!

Saw a interesting rear diffuser for the 350.
Basically,its a mod of the WALD diffuser for the GTR.
Sort of a neat design.However,only covers the center section
between the tailpipe tips.Has reflectors which look a bit too
much.It appears from the pic,the parts of the bumper not covered
by the diffuser are painted black.Dual tip tail pipes are used
like the GTR.A bit pricey at 600 bucks+130 ship(from Tai.).
The unit is being sold on E-Bay and at nvdautosport.com.
item #140674454457.
At least its something new I've not seen.
