I am sure that EVO one costs 4 g's too. ;(

I have been waiting for something like this for my Si! This should have been painted from the factory!

Yes, I'm aware you drive an si. I'm just informing you of the price of the evo's after you talked about it previously. Also you could deduce that a similar diffuser for the si would cost about the same.

If it doesn't make your car faster it's not worth buying. BECAUSE WE ALL TRACK OUR CARS 100% OF THE TIME.

Old mustangs had fake food scoops and fake side scoops, but you can't exactly call that rice, can you? It's an asthetic mod made to sell the car. It make the car look better, without adding substantial construction costs to the car. Not everything is about shaving .0001 seconds of your lap time. :| I thin a CF diffuser is a good idea, although this one in particular looks a little funny. Can't put my finger on it.

Either way, very few parts are wind tunnel tested, as it's extremely expensive to rent out a wind tunnel. Just accept this part for what it is. It's about as functional as an air freshener. It makes the car more pleasant to the owner, and that's what i was meant to do.

No but a diffuser by its very definition IS SUPPOSED TO DIFFUSE. In this case, diffusers are supposed to direct air to the rear to reduce turbulence. When it's a little ricey flat of plastic, it's not doing its said job, which makes it a ricey, worthless accessory. And yes, fake hood scoops are ricey as heck, just because other cars do it doesn't mean it's not rice.

Might as well get a fake blow-off valve that makes a "pssssh" sound to go along with it. Diffusers aren't supposed to be ricer accessories, they're--by its rather literal definition--supposed to serve a performance function.

Haha. As an alternative, I suggest a Hello Kitty tip to get even more hardcore JDM

If you look underneath the rear of your car, theres a plastic piece there so there won't be any air-turburlance. Doesn't the count?

Yup. It keeps the air from packing into the rear bumper and as a result, smooth out air flow.

ortivt6 · 05-14-2008, 11:16 AM
