How does the Carbon Rear Diffuser for C8 compare with the aluminum version?

Verus Engineering says the Carbon Rear Diffuser for C8 delivers a higher peak performance than its aluminum diffuser. The carbon body is 2x2 twill pre-preg, autoclave cured and clear coated, while the aluminum version is laser cut 5052 sheet in black powder coat with separate strakes. The carbon version costs more.

Is drilling required to fit the carbon diffuser?

No. Two bespoke aluminum brackets, powder coated black, attach the diffuser to the rear exhaust hanger chassis locations on the Stingray, and Verus Engineering states that no drilling or fabrication is required. Verus publishes an informative packet, a look book, an install manual and an install video.

How does a rear diffuser reduce drag?

A diffuser lowers the pressure beneath the rear of the car and reduces the size of the wake behind it. A smaller wake means less force pulling the car rearward, so drag falls while downforce rises. Verus Engineering developed this shape in CFD and confirmed it in real-world testing.

Will the carbon diffuser fit a C8 Z06?

No, not as listed. Verus Engineering designed and lists this diffuser for the C8 Corvette Stingray, and its Z06 dive plane page describes a Z06 rear diffuser as coming soon. Z06 owners should wait for that part, since this one is shaped and bracketed for the Stingray.

What else pairs with the carbon diffuser?

Verus Engineering builds its C8 Ventus packages around the rear diffuser, starting with the Dual Element Dive Plane Kit for front balance. The carbon finish matches the Verus Carbon Front Air Dam and the carbon air dam option on the WF Spec Front Splitter Kit, for one cohesive carbon package.

Description

Verus Engineering Carbon Rear Diffuser for C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Verus Engineering’s Carbon Rear Diffuser for C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray takes the Verus diffuser design into 2×2 twill pre-preg carbon, autoclave cured and finished in automotive clear coat, and Verus reports a higher peak performance than its aluminum version reaches. It builds low pressure beneath the tail and shrinks the wake behind the car, adding downforce while cutting drag. It is the pick for a Stingray already wearing Verus carbon at the front; owners after function on a tighter budget should compare the aluminum diffuser.

Design and Performance

Verus shaped the body from scan data and CAD and refined it in CFD so it follows the body lines of the Stingray while working as a functional aero part. Simulation came first, then real-world testing, and the diffuser met the goals Verus set in both.

About Verus Engineering

Verus Engineering designs aerodynamic and performance parts in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two engineers founded it in late 2014 as Velox Motorsports and renamed it in 2017 after a trademark dispute; verus is Latin for true or complete. Each design starts from a 3D scan of the car, is developed with CFD and finite element analysis and is validated on track, across more than 20 platforms from the GR86 to the C8 Corvette.

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.
