Rear Diffuser

Found this on Ebay, looks interesting, prob one of the better looking rear diffusers I've seen...little skeptile of ordering this from russia..never heard of the company..for $400 + 100 shipping not outrageous

Anyone got any thoughts?

Concept looks pretty good, but if you look closely the fit & finish are low grade.
Poor, uneven cut lines etc.

There is also some discussion on fitment with some rear mufflers.
RPI is on the car in most of the promo pics.

For the price though......

lol... +1 on that logo.

If you look through the pics, they also cut initials on one or two of the fins.
Looks like they cut it with a torch...

We were the first ones in the US to have this diffuser at the beginning of this year, if you're cool with the aggressiveness, do it!! The fancywide logo is removable, just a sticker.. As far as cutting finish, zero complaints.. especially for the price. As far as fitment cause of the mufflers, if you don't have RPI mufflers be ready to do some trimming or exhaust changes etc to make it fit. Quality of the aluminum is top notch as well.

P.S : their website fancywide.ru the diffuser is $370 + $98 shipping...

I've been so tempted to pick this diffuser up. Really can't complain about anything at that price point

How much trimming are we talking about? I plan on running this diffuser with STOCK mufflers.

Well to be honest we ended up removing our rogue mufflers and making a custom set up using magnaflow race cans...but if I were to guesstimate, with rogue boxes it looked like it needed atleast 1-2" trimmed off of each side of the diffuser on the inner exit sides of the exhaust if not more.. I can send you pictures to be more exact on where the trimmings will be necessary..

Some pictures would help, thank you. I have the stock exhaust so there'll likely be some significant trimming?

Time to borrow an angle grinder.

I'm considering this diffuser as well. I think it looks great and I already have the RPI cans anyways.
