I've been working with one of the best composite factories and we've been working on a few projects that I've been keeping quiet about.

These diffusers are hand made in USA, and are they are guaranteed 100% quality. A mold was made from an OEM CSL diffuser, you can tell by the crease/ridge on the diffuser which I've photographed.

I will be providing 2 diffuser options and 2 finish options, OEM or Race, Gel coat or Matte "Dry" Carbon. The race version is slotted to reduce drag/parachute effect that the diffuser creates when running a smaller/aftermarket muffler. The "matte" carbon will look similar to the one in the photos but cleaner and more refined. The Gel coat will just be clear, like how the race one looks.

These are the first couple of diffuser that came out the mold, these are prototypes for test fitting so the weave isn't perfect.

Photos of them on the car will be up tomorrow, I got these in late today.

Price: I'm still working on a price since final production has not started yet. I'm hoping it'll be in the $600 range.

Those who are interested send me a PM and I'll put you on the list, I'll contact you once I finalize pricing and when production starts.

I'll try on the price, but for an OEM quality diffuser it gonna be hard.

Vorsteiner is more than that and isn't molded from an OEM CSL one.

Looks hawt!!!!!! I'd pay $600 for a diffuser for my car with OEM quality!


OT, but how much hp/tq approx. did that car gain by going single exhaust setup? Just out of curiosity :D

Thanks! You get what you pay for... and they're made in the USA!

I supercharged the car so I can't really say how much I gained from just the exhaust, it did make a pretty big difference though.
