already did a search...and i was wondering if the new 06 STI diffuser is actually functional??? is there any benefit in getting one?? cuz i plan on taking my my04 WRX to the track probably once a month....or should i juss flat out get a better piece...like the HKS one?

 

i heard form a subaru rep that 05 to 06 buyers were noticing a difference

 

hmmm interesting....thanks for the input

 

Availability?

 

I doubt any '05's felt anything (placebo effect?). They don't have one. The item is there for only one reason. The WRC boys need it to fly level off a 100mph 'yump'... it's not real good to come down the nose at speed. Unless your planning on launching off a speed bump, it's a silly thing.

 

what are you talking about? do you even know what a diffuser does? all it does is decrease lift and drag from underneath the car by smoothing and accelerating the airflow. has absolutely nothing to do with jumping a car in the air.

and by 05 to 06 owners, i believe he meant people who traded in their 05's for the 06. 05's didnt have the rear diffuser......06 does.... = noticing a difference.

 

The idea of a device making a car launch into the air is AWESOME! Too bad a diffuser doesn't do that. But heck, if you have something that can make my car fly into the air, let me know!

As far as if the diffuser makes a difference, I doubt anyone going under 100mph is going to notice a difference. But they look cool, so yeah, I would get one. I donno about u, but I buy plenty of stuff that does nothing but looks great.
