for reals.


as far as your rear diffuser/ center exhaust designs. you should try to incorporate both. so that you get a blown diffuser. there isn't that much room with the rear sub frame in the way buuut you still can angle the exhaust exit such that it helps with the center diffuser channels... would be pretty exciting to see your car running over some leaves or in the rain and see the giant rooster tail behind it..

exhaust blown diffuser is the plan.. for now, I have more to do than time will allow for the flat bottom.. and AP wants to put their can on the car and have it visible for a bit, so that works out for both of us.

When I get the rest of the car locked down, I can turn the AP can sideways, have a new pipe made for it, and blast it out the passenger side of the diffuser. I'm hoping to have some fun with the under tray build up, taking care to manage wheel/tire squirt as well.

lots of cardboard templates.. but in the end, it should be a fun final product.

Would be cool to see some quad Ferarri GTB Armytrix style tips incorporated somehow!

this will be a tricky install.
Sold my cf door panels and speaker pods.. in favor of a more simple, larger front speaker set up. Pulling out a very rare but heavy set of Bostons... in favor of tried and true Alpine SPR 69s.

Custom spacer/ shim will of course be necessary.. as well as cutting away some metal perhaps, ,but they are actually slim w a very small diameter magnet, will help a TON.

I think both ideas are tied. If it were me, would probably lean more toward the modded momo.
