can anyone give me the dimensions of a METAL bumper diffuser. im trying to make my own and i cant find the dimentions. i want it to look normal and not to big or small. thanx

 

Just cut up some cardboard till it looks right, trace it, and cut it out.

 

you mean like Metallica or Iron Maiden?

 

true i could with the cardboard, does anyone know who makes them, what manufacture. the only one i found was from robearracing.com

 

Golden Eagle makes aluminum diffusers....

 

100 bucks for a piece of stainless with holes in it forget that. thanx though

 

cf and kevlar are better... but i have a vx diffuser

 

i've got a few. 3 actually. they are custom pieces we made a few years back, but no one locally bought them. let me know if youre interested. i'd like to get rid of them asap. pm if need be. thanks mang,

brett

3x. I'm interest too.

 

just pm me. provide an email address so i can attach pics and such. let me know, i have a few others wanting them. thanks guys...

 

pm you my email.

 

i could probably cut out a couple more sets of these if anyone is interested. or shoot me a size and i can cut some out...nothing to fancy...and i would like to keep them smaller so i dont have to hassle with shipping 4 foot long diffusers lol. i dont want to make a whole bunch of these but i do have some scrap alum. around the shop i can burn up...hit me up on pm's if your interested...

 

pm's and emails sent. let me know guys...

 

I made mine, they look a little better now that the bumper is painted and I scuffed up the aluminum a little.

 

wat did you guys use to cut the holes out. i want to make it eaiser on my self. right now im shooting for punching a hole and useing tinsnips. and one more thing whats gonna hold better pop rivets, screws or bolts

I'd use small SS machine screws and nyloc nuts with washers (on the inside) to even out the pressure. Heck, a little silicone would probably do the trick too.

 

Use a hole saw, and some ss taping screws

 

Now, I know what the purpose of a diffuser is, but maybe I'm thinking of a different definition (the ones that create down force). How effective is attacking your bumper with a hole saw? Is there actually a notable difference in performance somewhere?

 

yeah i think your thinking of the same thing i am when i think "diffuser" the piece that goes under the rear of the car right? like what pontiac tries to copy on the back of a lot of there cars. so whats that piece called if its not a diffuser?

Holes in the rear bumper is not a diffuser. The holes are to stop your rear bumper from trapping air and acting like a chute. Works great, I've seen 2-3mph in the 1/4 on a 106mph car.

In the thread there's cars that range from drag cars to all motor street cars that noticed a diffrence.Basic rule of thumb is it's good for maybe .1-.3 seconds 1-3 mph and a few mpg if it's a street car.Your thinking of a real diffuser like the kind that come on most exotic cars.I have never seen one made for a civic besides the vx rear diffuser, but there's a few companies that make them for s2000s and nsxs.I have a coupe and couldn't run the vx so this is the only option.

I got my kms-fab diffuser today,so im going to try to get that installed and get pictuers for the guys that were interested.

That would be cool if they made something like that for the rear too & still no coupe love.

 

maybe you didn't look at it, this IS the REAR diffuser thread!~!!

it would fit a coupe, trust me.
