Perfect fitting rear diffuser for E92 with Akra?

THE TECH · 12-19-2011, 10:19 AM

Got a rear diffuser (replica type) from a vendor here who claimed perfect fitment (I guess that could have been true if you only have a stock exhaust) so I need something that is guaranteed to fit with the Akrapovic exhaust. Who can vouch for fitment?

If you are also interested in purchasing one I can sell mine for $350 plus shipping, it is painted gloss black.

You can also pick it up if you are close to LA

I recently purchased a Varis Rear Diffuser and the ARKYM diffuser will not fit it.

Looks good. I will keep it in mind if I can't find a carbon one to my liking.

+1. I have the Arkym rear diffuser with my Akrapovic exhaust, and the fit is perfect.

Sounds like the Arkym might be the way forward.

Now...who has one for sale?

You bought the same one I did that has "perfect fitment"... No matter how hard i tried to make it fit "pefectly" there is still about 1/4 inch gab between the bumper and the diffuser at each corner and i have Megan Racing Catback...

I guess i'll have to look into Arkym one as well.

Yeah, so far nothing that I have bought from this guy "fit perfectly" as claimed.

Agree with you 100% bud. Last time I buy anything there again.

My challenge race fit pretty well with both my Akra and Kriessieg.

Extremely happy with my Challenge Sport rear diffuser.

I can only guess which guy you both bought from, I've had my own experiences with him. I honestly wouldn't rate Arkym that highly either or many of the others. I've now got a few pieces from various manufacturers I refuse to put on my car based on low quality fabrication and fit. I've decided not to add a diffuser after seeing many first hand. Lesson learned for me, leave it alone, or make custom parts myself. The only part I can recommend is the Challenge front lip, it fits well mostly due to the design. If I were to try again it would be with their rear diffuser.
