Different Kinds of Diffusers

I know there is a
Z28 Diffuser
Zl1 Diffuser
1LE Diffuser
and I recently heard there is an NPP diffuser
does that refer to the SS?

I have 14 LS Camaro and want to know which one would probably be cheaper and would fit better.

thank you all.

I put a 1LE on my 14 LS, it was very easy. It took me about 45 minutes because I took my time.

What was the process to do so? Where did you get the diffuser from?

That spoiler and smoked headlights look great! How did you go about replacing your stock SS spoiler and smoke them?

Thanks! The spoiler was actually super easy no modification needed it's a z28 replica that has great quality and costs only 100 bucks it was recommended by a couple of folks on here. The taillights I bought the smoked vinyl from phastek.

The Z/28 and Ground Effects diffusers are identical, and the most expensive at around $800.

The ZL1 diffuser has a unique design, and a reasonable price at less than $300.

The 1LE diffuser is the cheapest of the lot, at around $100 before shipping charges.

There is no such thing as an "NPP diffuser". In fact, all of these could be considered "NPP diffusers", since the NPP exhaust has 4 total exhaust pipes (2 on each side) and thus requires a wider port, which these 4 diffusers (1LE, ZL1, Ground Effects, Z/28) all have.

The stock SS/LT/LS diffusers (without NPP exhaust from factory) are identical, and simply don't have enough space for 4 exhaust tailpipes.

Aesthetically, only the Z/28 and Ground Effects diffusers look much different from stock. You can always just have your diffuser sanded and painted if you aren't planning on getting four tailpipes.

You know I thought the same thing but it looks different from the side. I've had this catback since before this diffuser and it didn't look this far out.
