Aa mad max + v style 3-piece exhaust = problems (solution inside)
So yday i finally decided to stop being lazy and install my rear diffuser thats been sitting in garage for months...
I had nothing but problem, first they heat shield got in the way, had to remove it. Then the 5th & 6th exhaust tips coming out of the middle can is blocking the diffuser from going in all the way. But they couldnt stop me, i was determined to get it done. Bust out my dremmel tool and went to work And here's the result Last edited by wuzhatning; 10-27-2021 at 05:31 AM.. |

Guyyyyyyssss
You shouldn't have to cut your diffuser. I have Mike's V-style tucked in right with an AA Single+Mad Max. Just remove Max's added aluminum heat plate (2 small hex bolts w 2 crown nuts), and then add one 13mm (?) upside down flange nut above the rubber exhaust hanger mounts on the rearward long studs (one each side, as a spacer). This lowers Max just enough for the diffuser to tuck in. Only the 2 original mounting screws are holding my middle diffuser on right and the dumps barely touch the fins. It all works (except my trunk-kick, which I hated anyway and had coded off). Mike's carbon fiber hasn't melted or warped, nor has it even felt hot after my drag strip runs with the dumps open. I guess only the plastic or diffusers have a melt problem, or I'm lucky. I do have the real Vorsteiner GTS rear 1-piece to mount in the near future, but Mike's piece that I moved over from my F80 shows me there's no problem. It's exact same size as real V.

We kept changing the design until we reached a quality/fitment level we were happy with.

i think if i remember correctly, you're the only seller that stand behind clear coat quality for external carbon fiber pieces right? You're always my first choice Mike
