They serve the same function as a spoiler. They're supposed to add downforce without increasing drag.
Let's be serious for a moment. They're mostly for cosmetics. They're not providing any useful downforce in their street applications.

IMO they look tacky and ghey.

I REALLY like the Alex one... I always thought diffusers were kind of ugly until I saw that one!! The J's has also grown on me

all depends how fast your going...my top secret diffusor planted the rear of my car with anything over 80mph...normally highways are 50mph, so yes you won't get the full benefits of a diffusor for street use.

ive also been told I get "rooster tails" appear from the side of the diffusor on the highway at speeds (in damp conditions), so airflow is definately affected.
