Installation cf diffuser
I just received my carbon fiber diffuser and I have a question regarding the installation for it because I'm going to be doing a quad exhaust mod after I install it. Does the dual exhaust cf diffuser attach to my 2008 c300 sport perfectly without problems, or do I need the brackets? Also how do you remove the stock diffuser and install the cf diffuser. Here's a pic of the attachment slots for the cf diffuser.

Is it recommended to use a bracket? What if I don't use brackets, will the diffuser stay in place?

Well....I am a pretty damn mechanically inclined individual...and I have a CF diffuser sitting under my bed....with 2 broken tabs....
The tabs are really thick compared to the stock plastic version, and I even dremmeled a few of them to make them thinner as well as less wide, still cannot get the damn thing on my car....I am waiting for a day when I have an over abundance of patience and I will try again.
All I can say is be patient and do not try to force it in place. Removing the stock one is obvious once you get under the car, good luck with it!

I intended to either get brackets at some point or use a nut and bolt. Just to get by for a day or two, I used a couple of zip-ties. 8 months later, the zip-ties are still holding. I'll see if I can post a pic later today. Installation of the diffuser was a breeze. Literally 5 minutes.
