Default Tom's Diffuser vs. Arkym Diffuser

hey guys.

quick informal poll:

which would you prefer, the arkym diffuser or the tom's diffuser?

I have an '08 usb with an ISS QES and wald trunk spoiler


here's the arkym vs. the tom's
(arkym has 3 teeth; tom's has 4)





stuck between the two!

thanks.

Each member will have his or her preference, but you can't really go wrong with either. Both look stunning, as they are CF, and it boils down to what you want to achieve in terms of a look. Personally, I've seen both and I know more people who have the Toms than the Arkym. My personal pick would be Toms, however. Best of luck!
