Hi Mike you will need to go route of custom diffuser and for best advice i would contact Paul@Zen performance or Duncan@Race Dynamix which can help you source something for what you are looking

The lateral banana doesnt have a diffuser - just a huge gap / upwards underfloor step that creates a huge swirly undercurrent and a lot of drag IMHO.

Lots of diffusers exist off the shelf but most are purely for decoration purposes rather than function. What useage is the car getting?

This is something ive been looking into for my track car too .... but as dynamix has said, pretty much all of the off the shelf items are just a glorified bumper trim with no real function ..... think ill probably be getting some ply and glass fibre out if nowt cuts the mustard!

What Jura did to the back of his wagon is pretty good though, was that custom made or off the shelf for something else?

Hi there

We are went with Aerokit.eu diffuser which has been modified for our wagon,this company will/can modify for you any diffuser.

If its worth,maybe yes,but without the proper aero testing in Aero tunnel(MIRA for example) i can't say if have some benefits.

We are went with this because we are like how it looks and if will have any benefits,its just bonus

Here is link
