Default Diffuser install

I know Stillens diffuser, you can just use 3M tape to install. Is that the same case with all diffusers? I was told by a eBay seller I need to remove the oem diffuser to put on the one he's selling

You will need to remove the OEM Diffuser. I have the Aimgain Diffuser and removed the OEM Diffuser.

Is the instructions by chance in the owners manual? Do you need to remove the whole rear bumper?

Not True,

Aimgain has to remove the OEM Diffuser but the Stillen just goes over the OEM from what i believe cause that's what my friend told me.

I had to take off my OEM diffuser for the AimGain Diffuser

What's not true? He already stated that Stillen can go over the OEM.

I mean as in you don't have to remove the OEM Diffuser.. You don't have to take anything off the car in general. Just 3M Tape and good to go.
