Potentially looking at a diffuser to switch to quad exhaust. Any other options on the cheaper end but not complete garbage?

I've ran across this one that seems very reasonable. Has anyone tried it? Any concerns with fiberglass vs molded plastic? I though I read that all 6G diffusers are the same except gloss black vs raw plastic. Anyone actually run a 16-18 Diffuser on their 2020+ and can confirm?

Been wanting an aftermarket diffuser for the longest time but finally shirked off the idea because
1) Vicrez fins are too aggressive
2) Ikon diffuser looks very nice but still quite aggressive to not look good on a car with minimal aero elsewhere
3) Everything else is too minimal of an improvement over stock to justify the cost and hassle of installment
🤷*♂️
4) Stock diffuser ain't bad, no fins but it has some nice design lines. It just needs to be taken care of really well. If the color fades, it looks like shit

Does this fit ok? The sides look too thin compared to stock but otherwise looks good! If price wasn't a factor I'd do Anderson too. It's carbon fiber right? And then I'd combine it with the Borla carbon fiber tips. I saw this combo on a Camaro. Looks luscious 🤤...

I bought a diffuser and side skirts from ikon. Both fit fairly well. The diffuser pops out slightly on the bottom outside corners but it’s unnoticeable unless you know it’s there and are down eye level with it.

I have this one as well, and indeed perfect fitment is a bit difficult to achieve. Fortunately I removed the rear bumper for installation, and eventually managed to finagle the tabs and clamps until the diffuser was almost perfectly flush.

One would almost need a magnifier lens now to see the small gap on the passenger side.

I got the same diffuser, but didn't go for the side skirts. Just need to get it, the front lip, and wicker bill painted now. Fit wasn't quite perfect, but pretty damn close.

I just started looking for an aftermarket rear diffuser myself. Found this thread. It seems like the Ikon is sold out on a lot of sites. I believe I've found it on Ebay for 299. (shorturl.at/ckwJZ).


Does anyone have an experience with this one?

It looks a little more aggressive on the fins which makes me unsure about it, but I do like the side cutouts.
EDIT: Don't know why it blocked that link, here is another. The first one is next gen speed's site.

I just ordered this one. Looks very functional and I will post-install later! (Their pictures suck)
