A rear diffuser is an automotive aerodynamic modification typically found mounted on the vehicle’s underbody located at the rear of the vehicle, underneath the rear bumper. As a vehicle is in motion, air flowing in the underbody is typically at high-speed and has low-pressure. The design and purpose of a diffuser are to help reduce drag and to create downforce by facilitating the airflow underneath the vehicle’s underbody. A diffuser is used to increase the air volume along its full length, thus creating a void that must be filled by air. This in turn creates a Venturi effect, meaning the air flow is accelerated at the beginning of the diffuser creating a low pressure, thus creating downforce. As the air travels along the full length of the diffuser, the high velocity air is eased back into normal velocity matching the ambient velocity at the rear of the vehicle reducing overall drag. With the addition of vertical “fins” attached to the diffuser, this helps to optimize the diffusers efficiency by ensuring that all air being drawn into the diffuser is from the underbody and isn’t being drawn from the upper body surfaces. A diffuser is best optimized with the addition of a front splitter to help mediate the underbody’s airflow.
Customer Reviews
Love it! Looks super cool and very good quality! Happy with my purchase!
An absolutely amazing diffuser 10/10. Some things you should know before buying if you are planning on installing it on a ***2019-2021 sedan LX***. You will have to drill holes in your spare tire wall for the brackets to grab on to, which is no big deal and if you space them correctly you will have no issues with your spare tire rubbing on the top of the bolts as there is plenty of room in there. Second thing is, the side pieces of the diffuser are held up using the plastic clips on the underside of the rear bumper and they work very well with one exception. The side piece of the diffuser that goes on the drivers side was not held flush with the underside of the bumper because there is no plastic muffler shield on the drivers side, there for the plastic clip was a little loose. An easy fix for that is a couple of washers on the opposite side of the bumper from the side piece of the diffuser to give the plastic clip more to grab onto making it flush. Again, this review is for a ***2019-2021 sedan LX***. Definitely one of if not the best mod for my car so far and it looks amazing.
Quality item that goes with the rest of the kit.
