Facts: Velocity stacks being placed on the bumper slows down incoming air. without it, "pressure" air flows much faster with larger volume.
Velocity stacks work best when the air is being SUCKED in by something (individual throttle body VE, Turbo Compressor).
If you're going to do modifications to your car, at least understand why and how it works.
Same goes for those rear bumper vents on that hatchback -useless.

Check out this Syclone in the new GM High Tech Performance:
Velocity stacks to feed his Twin Turbo Setuo. Game Over IMO
(Sorry for the crap pics, I couldn't find any pics online so I took a picture of the mag)

well, from my understanding is that the purpose of the rear bumper diffuser is so that the air going under you car as you drive doesn't get caught in your rear bumper and slow you down...its so that the air can flow thru....i dont think it makes too much of a difference....same with the duckbill, its all for aero-dynamics, the duckbill throws the air higher so that the air doesnt come down circulating under your car too fast...and thats when the diffuser comes in handy....i could be wrong though...just stuff i heard.....

If that stack is actually HOOKed up into the intake, then it would work. But from what I remember, that stack is just mounted onto the bumper infront of the intake.

Here's the 1000 dollar answer.
That current bumper with the holes is actually slowing the car down by drag. Much like how a parachute is designed. Parachute have a hole at the very top center to release air as it flows, the air around this hole is a cushing of volume/pressure to slow down the guy hanging on this parachute. Now imaging if that hole wasn't there; the parachute will be doing nothing but holding a "brick" of cushined air. as more pressure and volume is built up, it will soon push any air going towards it to the side before the parachute. So with a stock bumper with no holes, the car is actually not draging at all. Also the rear of the car creates an "air pocket" of pressure. most car rear bumpers are fully enclosed to the body anyways.
This also goes towards truck drivers. They think by putting down their tailgate, they will create less drag. This is false and proven by mythbuster lol.
Science is amazing
