I first mounted with nothing....no good - fits well along the top but the sides have gaps. A "T" gasket will not work on the Wald as the mating surfaces are all an inch wide.



I pulled it back off and fiddled with it, but could not get the gaps to settle on both sides (near each end).

So I went and just ran 3M tape along the entire front surface. which helped with the side gaps, and created a uniform fitment.

Nice pick up...I don't think you should coat your diffuser any of the top brand name ones come witha good clear coat already on that is UV resistant and the exhaust will not damage it either. Leave it be as is and enjoy your dope diffuser

Looks good! My full Tom's kit is coming in this week so I'm excited to join the diffuser club

Sorry...just to add a picture, as I used silicone that closely matched Mercury Metallic to help fill in the gaps.

Just purchased a wald diffuser today.. i was wondering if you had to screw on anything or did you use 3m tape all the day? also which silicone did you use?

The diffuser is also held on by those two rear deflectors (from the Highlander - should you lose one)...so you will need to drill, they're length is very short and they just barely fit through the bumper - so you will need to drill 2 small holes through your bumper - they are bolts with nuts. There is also two small screws for the bottom of the diffuser as well. This is the main reason why you will need to remove the bumper completely to install this properly.

You can see the hole here, with the reflectors removed.



There is also two small screws for the bottom of the diffuser on each end that go through the bumper as well.



I used Permatex Ultra Gray High Rigid/ Torque just along the top - where the gaps were.



The rest of the diffuser, I use 3M foam tape.



The RTV sealant has not shrunk, peeled or separated at all for the last year/ including two track days.
