3D style diffuser... Anyone try it?

N55guy · 04-09-2016, 07:17 PM

I've really wanted to get a diffuser for some time and keep going back and forth with a m performance diffuser that I know fits and a 3D style diffuser I keep seeing on eBay (yes I know eBay...sorry but it's happening and I'm willing to bet I'm not alone). I like the way the 3D one looks much better but I can't get myself to spend over $1000 on a diffuser from IND which I why I've been looking at the eBay ones.

Has anyone tried one of these eBay 3D style diffusers?

N55guy · 04-10-2016, 10:22 AM

Anyone?

Might just try this eBay one... If returned, 15% restocking fee and I gotta ship it back to California ($100 lost if it's terrible) ?

I ordered mine from RW Carbon. I think the price was similar. RW's quality is good.

Thank you for the reply, I believe the one RW offers is different from the 3d style one though. Here's a pic of the rw on top and the one I'm looking at below it...

On aliexpress, there is actually a quad tip carbon fiber diffuser...omg so tempted

N55guy · 04-12-2016, 09:19 AM

Did find this from a company I think is in CA. I believe they were banned from here so I blacked out their logo.

At this price Im willing to bet it's still a replica made in Taiwan...

m235iMike · 04-13-2016, 02:16 PM

i bought one of these. Not from ebay per say. Fitment was really bad.. so i returned it.

Cf weave was really good though. lol

Thank you for making a difficult decision easy! That looks like the one I was looking to buy. Guess I'll be getting an m performance diffuser.

You can most definitely have your own opinion about that...
Personally I'm not a big fan of that diffuser and it's ok for us not to agree. By all means buy what you want. I just made this thread for people interested in a particular diffuser.

N55guy · 04-14-2016, 08:48 AM

The one I posted is a replica of this... To me this is...

CanadianGatorBacon · 04-14-2016, 05:23 PM

The 3D Design style diffuser is at the top of my list right now of good looking designs. I think it's better than the M performance one. I don't care about the CF, so if the crappy knock offs fit I would definitely buy one an paint it. Too bad they don't fit it seems.

I see the gaps, was it just that the mounting points were a bit off, or was the whole piece the wrong size or misshapen?

the mounting points were spot on.. it must have been miss shaped or something. Also i should have taken a picture of what the mounting points looked like. They were just a piece of plastic glued to the inside of the bumper. I wouldnt trust it at all to hold it

Well that answers the eBay Diffuser questions for me...

Really don't know what i want to do now, i really want Dinmann diffuser over M-Performance but pricing!

dinmann will cost me like more than double!

But M-Performance i've seen afew guys have out-of-wack colored Diffusers that don't match properly... do not want that happening haha
