Diffuser and Rear Skirts

Last updated: August 24, 2002

The purpose of a diffuser is to straighten the air flow exiting the car. This can add downforce, as part of an aero package. (Need a better explanation here.)

Diffusers and rear skirts are grouped together on this page, as some diffusers look like they would be made more efficient with the addition of rear skirts, and some rear skirts look like they would function as rudimentary diffusers.

Please check with the vendor to make sure you can use a combination of these, I did not do any research on that.

You will probably also want to check to make sure your exhaust system will clear the diffuser.

Here is a selection of these parts, please email me if you have additional information not included here.

Thanks to the guys on the RX-7 Forum. A lot of this information came from them; I just collected it here and arranged it by vendor, so it wouldn't be lost.

Mazdaspeed

The first Mazdaspeed one looks like it will attach with the stock rear bumper.

The next series of photos show a different Mazdaspeed style that looks like it will replace the entire rear bumper skin. It appears to have small rear skirts built-in to it.

Mazdaspeed Rear Skirts

Mazdaspeed rear skirts

The above picture was labeled as rear skirts, but the one below looks like it is the same part, but in this picture it looks more like it was meant to be a diffuser:

Abflug Rear Skirts

The middle photo shows the bumper either cut away or else it is a repalcement skin. However, the rear skirts look like they can be used with the stock rear bumper.
