I just searched the site for an hour and I can't find a single thread for a DIY or directions on installing this thing. This sucks.

Dragon, thanks for posting that pic! Any chance you know where the straight brackets go? Frank said that they go from the back of the diffuser to the "swap bar"? I guess he meant sway bar? If you could get a pic of that it would be great, but it would probably be a PITA to take.

shame of me, i coulda take some pics today.. while i was working on my suspension. maybe ill take some by the end of this week. the straight brackets are placed right above the sway bar at an angle , so it will hold the diffuser right

Jdmbeast, thanks. I understand where all of the brackets go now, and I just spent the past two hours cutting the rear diffuser to make it work with my 3" lovefab exhaust, but I don't think its going to work. Basically I just cut a huge hole in a very expensive diffuser that I can now throw in the garbage. I really don't know what to do to make it work because the damn exhaust sits so low.

Xplosiv, thanks, I appreciate the offer. I figured out what you guys were talking about as far as the bracket goes. I was unsure about the straight brackets, but I now realize that they are held in by the sway bar bolts. There is no way that I can mount the diffuser like everyone else because of my damn exhaust. It sits so low that even though I cut almost the entire length of the muffler on the diffuser to fit it, it still won't mount up high enough because the muffler hits the diffuser. This really blows, I will try to finish mounting it tomorrow, but I think it will have to be like an inch lower than it is supose to be.
