my ankles also have a nice relationship with my splitter. "because racecar" is now a medical diagnosis.

Axle back exhaust looks good! I like how high up it exits, don't think I've seen someone do that before!

I have the end plate autograph on my sunglasses, VERY glad they were on!!. Yellow interior for the end plates helps a bit...But as "PROS" we all know to get damaged outside the racecar ....

true, the safest place is inside the racecar, not outside.

that's a really cool exhaust setup. Really interested to see your diffuser design/build when you get to it. I've got materials to build a basic one, and I just can't decide how I want to do it. And my current exhaust is not helping, at all...

Diffuser is done. Just need time to post it, hopefully I get some track testing next week if it doesn't snow. I designed it so I can removed it quick. Incase I gotta get the car on dyno at the track and they need to trap it down at the tow hook. I can remove it in a couple minutes.

What did you make it out of? ABS plastic, alumalite?

Alumalite. Turns out pretty light and strong. More weight in back means I can remove more weight up front. Better weight distribution.

Nice. I have 2 sheets at home I am not sure I will end up using. I was going to double up the APR spilitter to give it more strength and then extend all the way back to the firewall to make a full undertray but not sure about that now.

Anyone local looking for a sheet lmk

you should do that. i used a the 1/4" solid core for front splitter. it's heavier but a lot more stiff.

Yeah, I am thinking about it. The APR CF splitter is just sheet CF 1/4" thick so it has some flex across the surface. I figured that doubled up with the alumalite would be much stiffer.
