Best Diffuser to compliment Akra Evo System

F16RCE · 06-10-2012, 02:21 PM

Hi All

Just wondering if you guys had come across any rear diffusers for the e92 M3 that work really well with the Akra Evo system. My current diffuser which is pretty much the same as most of the ones you see on the market really hide the titanium exhaust tips. Ideally would like something that shows of the tips more. Apparently there is no way of pushing out the tips any further. Quite tempted to do away with the diffuser all together however i may lose the balance on the car.

Are the CF Akra tips any longer than the titanium tips?

Any thoughts?

Many thanks
M

Either Vorsteiner or Challenge would be my recommendation.

F16RCE · 06-11-2012, 12:11 PM

do these diffusers allow you to see more of the Akra tips? DO you have any pics please?

Thx

I say go no diffuser unless you're doing vrs, aesthetically though I think the arkym one isnt bad at all

Here's the Vorsteiner CTS-V/Akrapovic combo on our VF620 M3:

Kevin should be chiming in with other pics soon.

I have a diffuser from Mode Carbon and i'm thinking of selling it.... For some reason, I'm not a huge fan of diffuser on our car.

Thanks guys. Is there any way of extending the Akra tips so they poke out a bit further? Thats my only beef with the system!

Final positioning will depend on the diffuser being used, but Akra tips are adjustable for this sole purpose.

Diffusers if anything hide the tips a lot more. If your objective is to showcase the tips a little more, than a diffuser is not what I would go with.

SV Concepts II · 06-13-2012, 12:59 PM

I would go with the Vorsteiner Type II or GTS-V depending on how much carbon you want covering your bumper. Diffusers will cover the tips more.

SleepyE90 · 06-21-2012, 06:01 PM

Varis or Platte Forme

Darth One · 06-21-2012, 06:10 PM

how about the best diffuser specifically for Akra with CF tips? I saw another thread that those tips actually rubbed on someone's diffuser...

wwjd15 · 06-21-2012, 06:11 PM

We just installed the Downforce diffuser system recently.
