diffusers

[XINSANEJDMX]

the ones on the bumper are diffusers and those are for the air could go threw. if you check your bumper air gets caught inside slowing down your speed with holes on your bumper the air can get out n with the other types of diffusers (the one on the integra) that stops the air from going into the bumper.

Why do you want diffusers?

Absolutely NO purpose on a car that doesnt see the track. Oh, and even if you "track" your car, you don't have the fine level of aero tuning necessary to warrant the use of a rear diffuser. I don't even want to get started on this. It's pointless.

*edit*
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just feel that diffusers cross the line of something that you might do just for looks (i.e. a front lip, lowering the car, adding some sideskirts or something, even adding a subtle OEM-style wing). Diffusers are just a pure race piece, and they look silly on non track-prepped cars, and especially on FWD passenger cars that have no racing history at all.

X2, it's unnecessary. Period.

but they would be fine on a rwd car right?

I can see where you are coming from but this is not the point. He is just pointing out that the Accord is more of a grocery getter car than a weekend racer. Sure, cars like Ronald_TypeR's obviously look like they belong nowhere other than a track but that isn't the point and I wouldn't base an argument on it.

The CB isn't a race car, simple as that. This is the main reason Gary stopped racing his CB in autocross. Sure, with great driving skill you can place well, but the other cars with the REAL racing history and rep are always going to be on top. You can do endless modifications to make a CB race ready, but the base design of other cars such as the Integra and Civic (shorter wheel base, lighter, good HP to weight ratio, good turning radius, better handling potential, etc.) will always be superior.

So a rear diffuser would be unnecessary on a daily driven/non dedicated track car CB. Point made.

true story, with good driving i can get close to the civics but they always have the upper hand advantage,

Well, not only the practical aspect as you guys have hit on, but just the fact that not all cars would look good with a diffuser (since the OP seems intent on adding a diffuser for looks), and the CB definitely would look silly with one, IMO.

yeah that's true might as well jus put a rear fog light. But how about the diffusers from a s2k ? Like the bottom one under the bumper.
