A couple of shots of the Strafe designs rear diffuser. My thoughts so far. It definitely needs the side wings. Ended up contacting the company to have the side wings made. The diffuser felt a little incomplete without them. When the piece arrived it was in minor scratched condition. I optioned for the powder coated version. I felt they did a poor job powder coating. I ended up respraying the piece myself with good quality car paint and clear-coat. It’s going to take some shrapnel from the roads, especially for future track days. The install was touch and go because the instructions from Strafe were quite poor, I even contacted them to see if they had a visual representation online. I wish the diffuser came with better hardware. One of the bolts snaps when torquing it down. Ended up making a trip to the hardware store for some better stainless hardware to make sure I was covered. Wanted to give a smaller company like Strafe a shot. I do like the diffuser build, but I feel the instructions, powder coating, and hardware could be better.

Looks good!!

IMO, if you haven’t already though of it. I think a black badge with Klii color match inlay would look sick. I did that to mine with a black badge and white inlay. Really cleans up the hatch.

I actually just purchased black emblems and the color matched Klii backings for my car. Had a hard time finding the emblems but eventually pulled the trigger on an eBay set. Hoping they fit correctly. Should be arriving in a week or two.

Just purchased the Unitronic Stage 2+ is38 software and Uniconnect Cable. Decided to go this direction to have the flexibility to flash back to stock on my own. With my Audi S4 I got tired of relying on shops to swap programs back to stock settings with APR. I'll keep everyone posted once install is finished and give a detailed review. APR intercooler will be here Wednesday! https://www.getunitronic.com/news/unitronic-stage-2-performance-software

I got a Forge blow off valve and it's awesome. I don't know about the performance aspect but it sounds amazing. Don't think twice about bolting it up.

Honestly, I prefer the sounds of Atmospheric BOV to Air Diverter Valves. Thank you for the reassurance. I'm always excited to try different things on my cars. I can always switch back to the Stock DV, if I'm experiencing crazy boost loss!

i know less than nothing about the 370z (or really anything that isn't german, for that matter), how much power did it make/what had you done to it? still NA, or did you do any kind of aftermarket FI? excuse my ignorance if thats a silly question lol
