wow, nice diffuser. that sucks that it's not fitting correctly with your set up. hopefully you can get it worked out. it looks bad right now.

I definitely see your point but the problem is the diffuser touches the exhaust so far down that to get around the Fuji the gap would be ginormous.

Ah. I see your problem now. :/ Pick what you like best, or if you cannot let go of either... Customize the Fuji for more clearance. Any good exhaust shop can help you there.

does it 'seal' with the rear bumper when its installed properly? were you supposed to put doublestick tape on the edge?

the biggest PITA for the TS diffuser is when i wash the car. it acts like a freakin bathtub.

i spend like 20 minutes with a hand pump and siphon to suck all the water and rocks out from the diffuser. lul..

You should consider maybe poppin' some holes in the low points. I would have the same issue with the Voltex diffuser, but it came with a hole in each side on the low points.

Where did the Voltex attach to on the rear bumper? I measured the distance between the diffuser brackets and it's the same length as the lower bumper clips.

It's held on by 8 brackets. You can see six of the holes on the pic above, the other two are on the front lip of the diffuser. No where does the diffuser actually touch the bumper ( except for the separate trim piece that wraps around ). It's got quite a bit of clearance around my HKS through the front and rear.

At this point I can only assume that's what the dotted lines are referring to in the illustration. It definitely sits flush to the bumper so hopefully I won't require flood insurance whenever I wash the car
