Hey man -
I just installed this same diffuser and it comes out over the exhaust tips, just like your photo. Would you mind telling me how you 'got the tips extended'? Body/exhaust shop? Something you ordered? Is there a relatively inexpensive way I can get them flush like you did? Thanks for any info you can provide!

Not really the most cost effective solution, but damnz...that diffuser messed up the look of your ride.

Looking into these as they are also compatible with non-amg's, (other than brackets, which you can buy) since I have prefacelift its also hard to find; its rather annoying because the car is not old, but production just moved on to facelift and left pfl behind.
And I'm not looking for a HUGE fin diffuser, like some of these. Just enough to make a statement. Any suggestions?
Looked at autofans but not too reputable, but they have the products...

As of now I 10000% agree. The more I look at the OEM diffuser, the more I like it. It fits perfect, its made of bullet proof plastic and wont fade or chip like the Carbon overlay ones, and it flows well with the car. If I can find one that fits as good and is matte plastic with slightly bigger fins, I'll get it. As for now, my search has brought me back to OEM.

If you have to cut your tips and extend them to make your diffuser look correct. That's a poorly designed diffuser.

I doesn't bulge out our have that massive lip where the diffuser meets the bumper.
It came on the car so unfortunately, I can't point anyone in the direction to buy one.

The above "BIG FIN" diffuser is so rigid and straight and the exhaust lips are so extended that it is almost impossible to mount it to the bumper without having to remove the the whole bumper. Good luck not damaging your bumper in the process or having to weld it on. What these people who sell them don't understand is that they COVER THE FREEKIN EXHAUSTS like an uncircumcised shlong....
Just as Kiston said, if you gotta remove your exhaust and extend them to fit a diffuser, thats a crap diffuser design.
Always from China they keep sending this crap thinking we are dumb...

The fins are just held on by screws. It's not one piece.
It's this one...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fiber...dW2qWS&vxp=mtr

I was tempted to make one out of aluminum and powdercoat it. I actually prefer the look of the thin sheetmetal diffusers. They look more functional IMO. I just didn't have time, and my buddy that had the tools to help make it moved a few hours away.

I sent the file to Rockwood Composites, and had them CNC cut the extension fins out of carbon plate. I bought some threaded rod, and was going to tap the plates lengthwise, then JBWeld that to the fin, and attach with a nut on the other side. That didn't come out quite right, I thought they turned out too heavy to hang off of the super-thin carbon of the MC diffuser. I looked into creating a way for it to "slot" into the diffuser too, but couldn't figure it out. So I never attached them. After that I didn't like the diffuser anymore and switched out to a Vorsteiner-style one.
Would've looked cool though, I'll dig them out of the closet and take a pic in a minute. If anyone wants them let me know.
