CF Diffuser, just thought I would share some pics!

Project1 · 01-16-2010, 10:56 AM

So I have recieved and installed the iCarbon Diffuser, finally had a chance to clean the car, and thought I would ask for suggestions of what everyone thinks I should go with next. I am considering a roof spoiler like what is available from JLevi but I can't find one in CF...although I may just go black. Hmmm

a drop is next

Yeah, but I really only want like 1/2" drop, speed bumps are a daily thing where I live, and the roads suck. Thinking about going with the BMW Perf one.

Very clean, can't go wrong with black on black

TPLSM3 · 01-16-2010, 01:10 PM

Looks great!!! Does it look odd or out of place with mesh exposing the "bumper internals"? That has been my only concern that having the center mesh may show some things that shouldn't be seen. Any more pics?

Not at all, the mesh is black and it blends right in, unless you get down to bumper level, you would never even notice there is nothing behind the mesh.

It is just the standard Magnaflow axle-back.

Jcrewsn · 01-16-2010, 07:57 PM

awesome... is that dry or wet cf and matt or gloss finish?

esses · 01-16-2010, 08:23 PM

Did you put that icarbon decal on, or does it come like that?

Project1 · 01-16-2010, 09:36 PM

It's gloss, and wet carbon. The sticker came that way, they don't usually put them on and just send them along for you to put on, but mine came that way, and I think it is subtle enough to not take off. Plus after that installation and the quality product I got, I will def rep iCarbon!

AnooooOH · 01-16-2010, 09:48 PM

I totally need a drop...but it's winter, and the roads suck, so when summer comes along I am going to give it some serious consideration. That and I just spent a crap load of money on an engagement ring. Good thing is my toys won't have to go, ok, well some of them might, but she LOVES the Bimmer

Garduna · 01-17-2010, 02:50 AM

same pics from the icarbon gb thread :P good stuff man. iCarbon delivered, tho they were slow at the beginning but they are a new shop so that's understandable. ^_^

Yeah, I plan to keep updating with more pics though. I took some engine bay pics, but the light was all wrong this afternoon. I will be able to get some excellent "after rain" pics tomorrow. I had more to post today, but I got called into work (where I still am) to get some of this stuff on the planes headed to Haiti.

Hey man, nice looking ride!
Did you hafta mess with the magnaflow a lot to get it to fit so perfectly within that diffusor or was it pretty much bolt on hotness from the get go?
Im just scared of shit like that now cuz the last two cars I had aftermarket exhausts on (tiburon, GTI) both times the exhausts I got fit akwardly and the GTI one i even had to get cut n welded cuz the tips stuck out too much..

Believe it or not, it took me about 10 minutes to install the diffuser, and when I stepped back to look at it, it was already perfect! I moved it side to side to see if it was going to move, but it was just PERFECT.

BroDoze · 01-17-2010, 07:18 PM

Sick man. Looks beautiful. Get that lip now!

What bout the fitment of the exhaust, thats really what i meant. Well which did u install first? Just wondering if the magnaflow needed any cutting, welding or fuckin with to have it sit straight n even? Looks wonderful with that valance, bout as flush on all sides as possible

Oh, ok, gotcha. The magnaflow had been on the car for about 2 months already. Took the diffuser off, put the new one on, rolled out. It was as simple as that. The exhaust took about 30 minutes to install when I put it on. No cutting or anything, old off, new on.

thez99 · 01-18-2010, 12:02 AM

Awesome awesome

thez99 · 01-18-2010, 12:09 AM

Dunno if im lookin at the wrong magnaflow exhaust on mod bargains, but says there the tips are dbl walled SS and yours look like single walled dark tips..

Also, the hangers on this exhaust look totally diff then the ones on say the maddad exhaust but they both say they use the stock mount locations, wtf??
