Got mine in today, very happy with the product. Came well packaged and with all the pieces, all the parts had a great finish on them. Took me probably about an hour taking my time in the driveway. This does in fact clear the T1R 70EM Dual Sparrow exhaust with probably 1/8 to a 1/4 inch clearance which is perfect, it doesn't rub at all and doesn't cut down on ground clearance at all. What I am most impressed with is how functional I think this piece is, granted you can't go driving and really "feel" downforce or less drag. But the front end tucks up nicely to ensure the air is directed underneath and most importantly the mounting is much more solid than I expected. Being an aero engineer I often see diffusers shodly mounted which makes me immediately think they are not very functional since they would rip off the car if they actually created any downforce. You could pull down on this thing with at least 200lbs evenly distributed and I believe it would hold up.

Overall very impressed, thanks!!

I would post pictures but its a Berlina with wrinkle finish so theres already a few up

 

Got mine today going to install it over the weekend

 

Now all I need is the beatrush underpanel and the car should ride smoother at higher speeds

We sell the tie bars separately with or without the mounting flange for a diffuser.

So how functional is the tie bar piece? Is it supposed to stiffen the rear portion of the car to help minimize body roll?

 

Its not something you're going to feel that much. The tensile strength of the OEM bar is already pretty good concidering the nature of what this piece does, but if you're OEM bar is beat up bad (most are) and you want something to replace it without spending the money on and OEM bar, its a good option. It is thicker and has taller return flanges so it is stronger, how much of a difference you will see in performance is debateable.
