Finally in, 06 diffuser
�
�
should have had this thing last week but due to post office problems i had to wait another week. well visually it looks like its not gonna fit, im going to be up loading pictures very shortly and ill try and see if theres a way to put it on. As i guessed 3 of the mounting points are not present on the 05's but i'll see what i can do later tonite. by the way got it from japanparts.com they are awesome on customer service and speed.

| STi-MAN | 08-10-2005 09:19 PM |
theres some pictures rite there the 4th picture from the top, u can see what mounting points im talking about. to my knowledge rite now there are no points to mount into with those points, other points are taken care of with the bracket that comes with the diffuser
| Subie Gal | 08-10-2005 09:24 PM |
that's what a drill is for :lol:
| QwikRex | 08-10-2005 09:30 PM |
I was about to order that diffuser a couple of weeks ago from japanparts.com. Then I saw those three bolt holes on the diffuser and checked under my car. I don't see any other way of mounting without drilling holes into the spare tire well.
| TampaSTI | 08-10-2005 09:32 PM |
I'd like to see how you're going to do it

there is 1 bracket that attaches to the rear bumper but yea like i said we'll see.
| VSGTS14 | 08-10-2005 09:34 PM |
they are sweet, but they are definately going to get in the way of aftermarket exhausts....
so those 06 people might have issues swapping big canister exhausts.
cutting it will just make it stupid looking.

ok, tried to fit the diffuser but even the bracket does not have a mounting point so the 06 diffuser needs fabbing for fitment.

| veightkiller | 08-11-2005 02:47 AM |
i wonder if it's going to fit on a wagon????
| STi-MAN | 08-11-2005 02:53 AM |
it will fit prob anything as long as u drill into your trunk. there are no mounting points that car compatible with the 05 for the diffuser, it would be nice to see what the 06 looks like from underneath with out the diffuser.
| mokwai | 08-11-2005 03:03 AM |

it all depends on the size of the can and if it is straight or angled. my exhaust can diameter is smaller than the stock sti muffler so it should work out fine
i too just got the diffuser from japan parts. ~100 shipped
the diffuser, is to help straighten airflow leaving the underside of the car. apparently during high speeds, airflow is critical. so who knows.. i'll post pics up as soon as i intall it, to show how it would look like with a hks carbon ti exhaust

An idea if you don't want to drill into the car is to use an aluminum sheet and have that attached at another location then have the diffuser screwed onto the plate. ??

Yeah thats what it looks like they use on the 06's in that photo. It appears to be an extra sheet of metal formed under the spare tire well. Or invest is a crapload of heavy duty zip-ties and industrial double-sided tape :D

i wonder if this peice will actually improve the under car airflow?
i wish someone would show test results or perform a test so we can see if there is actually a bennifit.

It'd be interesting to read these 2 Autospeed articles and see if they have anything to say about rear diffusers on street cars:

[url=http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_2456/article.html]Modifying Under-Car Airflow Part 2[/url]
Anyone have an Autospeed subscription? I'm tempted to get the first 345 issues for $15.45 just to read these two articles.

ofcourse a rear diffuser is gonna help, people make a big deal out of the front underpanel to help smooth out the airflow, the same should go with the rear.
| Undepelo | 08-11-2005 12:12 PM |
Something like this?

Dont go drilling ANYTHING until you make sure your not going to pierce the gas tank.
| MU5A5HI | 08-11-2005 12:20 PM |
Doubt the rear diffuser is going to be much good unless you have the other underbody panels too.
| TheMadScientist | 08-11-2005 12:24 PM |
[QUOTE=STR8OUT]Dont go drilling ANYTHING until you make sure your not going to pierce the gas tank.[/QUOTE]
Tha gas tank sits in front of the rear diff. You should not have any problems drilling into the spare tire well. As long as the spare is not in the trunk.

the 05's have the underbody shields, but im still curious on how much this thing actually improves the air flow, it looks cool, its cheap so that alone is enough reason to buy it.

[QUOTE=MU5A5HI]Doubt the rear diffuser is going to be much good unless you have the other underbody panels too.[/QUOTE]
sti's have almost the same underbody pieces as the 06 except for they're added dp aeropiece, basically subaru is trying to smooth out the airflow under the cars look at the undercarriage of a r34. im glad that alot of people are giving they're advice on how to mount the diffuser, it would still be nice to see what the 06 looks like underneath the diffuser.

ok....Let me help out here...
The rear diffuser uses brackets to hold it on...I have one as of today...and should be a piece of cake to fit...
the rear part has a bracket that attaches to the rear section of the car....Look under your bumper and you will see a lip edge on the back of the tire well...thats where you will bolt up the rear bracket ....no biggie...
Next thing is...you will have to drill 3 holes in your spare tire well to bolt up the front part...no biggie...using some 1/2 PVC from Home depot should fix that..along with some carriage bolts that will go thru the spare tire well...(Remove your spare for the drilling part..)....put the carriage bolts in...along with the custom fabed PVC spacer...and your your done...:).....I have a JDM Pro angled exhaust..and it looks at first glance like it will clear with about 1/8 to 1/4 in clearance...I am going to put a piece of aluminum more forward of the current one for more heat sheild protection...
Heres why it wont work....with out the drilling...
the 06 has brackets that are attached to the sparetire well already..and they are already undercoated...so I am not sure how they were attached to the well...but anyways..I will have mine on this weekend...with PICS so you guys don't have to stress...its not a BIG deal ..really..maybe about 45 mins max...
you guys that want them japanparts...for the Benjiman are welcome to do that...but I can safely say that your local Subaru Dealer will get it for you a bit cheaper...they are like 85 bones at FULL retail...from the dealer...
I will keep you guy up to date....OH..BTW...Looks like it will fit the 02's on up crowd..;)
as we sorta test fitted one on a 02 today...
