Does the Rear Diffuser for Ferrari 296 GTB work with the RYFT race exhaust?

RYFT sells both parts for the 296 GTB, and the titanium Race Exhaust is listed for the coupe. Owners pairing the Rear Diffuser for Ferrari 296 GTB with that exhaust should let Bulletproof Automotive confirm fitment details with RYFT before ordering, so the exhaust exit and the diffuser shape are checked together as one rear package.

How does the factory 296 floor work with a diffuser?

Ferrari widened the flat underbody of the 296 GTB, using space freed by moving the brake intakes into the headlights, and added an L section vortex generator. Air accelerated under that floor leaves through the rear diffuser, which is why the diffuser area matters on this car. The RYFT part follows the factory curves rather than reshaping them.

Is the rear diffuser a good first RYFT part for the 296?

No. Most owners notice the front of the car first, so the RYFT front splitter usually comes before the diffuser. The diffuser is the right second purchase, because it balances the splitter visually and completes the lower outline of the car, and buying both together avoids a nose that looks heavier than the tail.

What is the best way to wash carbon that sits below the exhaust?

Exhaust residue and road film settle on a diffuser faster than on any other panel, so it is worth rinsing it thoroughly before a wash. A pH neutral shampoo, a soft brush for the channels and no aggressive wheel cleaners keep the clear finish intact, and a ceramic coating makes the residue easier to lift each time.

Is the diffuser listed for the 296 GTS?

No. RYFT titles the diffuser for the 296 GTB only, although its web address for the part refers to coupe and spider. Ferrari says the GTS keeps the lines of the GTB, yet GTS owners should treat this diffuser as unconfirmed until RYFT states fitment for the open car in writing.

Description

RYFT Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser for Ferrari 296 GTB

RYFT’s carbon fiber rear diffuser for Ferrari 296 GTB cars dresses the lowest part of the tail, where the wide flat floor that Ferrari gained by moving brake cooling into the headlights finally exits. It is the rear partner to the RYFT front splitter, and on a 296 with both fitted the car looks noticeably more planted from behind. RYFT files this part as a race diffuser in its own product address, which signals a look borrowed from racing rather than a factory-style trim.

Design

Ferrari says the space freed at the front of the 296 allowed a wider flat underbody, increasing the surface that produces downforce, and it added an L-section vortex generator to the floor. The rear diffuser is where that underbody air leaves the car, and it is also the part most visible below the bumper when the 296 is parked nose-in. RYFT’s piece follows the factory curves in 1×1 weave carbon, so the tail gains depth and texture without the hard edges RYFT avoided across its 296 range.

Features

Carbon fiber diffuser in the 1×1 weave of the RYFT 296 range
Race-inspired design, named by RYFT as its 296 race diffuser
Shaped around the factory Kamm tail with no added hard edges
Rear counterpart to the RYFT 296 front splitter

Applications

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
