Default Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser + Quad Muffler Tips from Aliexpress?

Stumbled across this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3288...chweb201603_53

Not sure why they specified '16-'18. I thought '13+ rear bumpers were all the same.

Also, does it look like you have to chop off the muffler pipe at a certain point to use the carbon tips. The muffler in the pictures also don't look stock (unless they changed them for '16+.

Opinions? ~$930 isn't bad for a carbon fiber quad tip setup.

EDIT: Cheaper on eBay (Yachant2011): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fibe...oAAOSwZexdEbej

EDIT 2: Summary of thread: I say stay away from this diffuser.

You would need an exhaust shop to do some custom work to get the exhaust tips to line up correctly. Just cutting the end and slapping on the tip with a clamp probably won't work.

Yes the diffuser would fit all years of the 4gs, bumper is the same. That is a really nice diffuser for the price, why not buy it and let us know how it goes

You have no idea how tempted I am, but unfortunately, I can't drop ~$1k on this at the moment lol

Edit: You've convinced me.. Will probably get it some time this year lol

That's what it says:
"Carbon Fiber AG Style Rear Diffuser with Muffler Tips"
"Muffler Tips made of Carbon Fiber & Metal,the pictures has not been taken yet."

Much cheaper than Aimgain and looks legit, but then again the one in the pic could be Aimgain and what you actually get is subpar. Someone needs to try this out and if all else fails use their 27 day money back guarantee.



They also sell carbon fiber side skirts, but the part under the rear door that sticks out looks odd:

The pictures are labeled "Aimgain Replica" if you inspect the element lol. Hopefully it's just a really nice replica. I saw on a Nissan GTR forum that someone got a front CF lip from the same company and they really liked it, so here's hoping they're good.

The exhaust tips look like akrapovic (replica) slip ons.

Fiancee...you're good to go! Once its "wife" that might become a different story. Let us know when you get it ordered! Curious how long it takes to get it delivered.

My Fiancee doesn't care what I do with my money. I spend it the way I want, we both have good incomes, live together, and split all common expenses.

Anyone know the exit pipe diameter of the JoeZ axleback?

Trying to see if these slip on tips will fit.

Hard to get a measure of the tips with it mounted but minimum it's 2.25" round and maximum 2.5" round. I'll check with a tape measure when I get home.

After a little talk, she allowed me to get it lol

I will probably be ordering it next week, since I had some questions for the seller and they're out on vacation until next week.
