Why start a C8 aero build with the Rear Diffuser for C8?

Verus Engineering calls the Rear Diffuser for C8 an ideal starting point because a well-designed diffuser is efficient: it adds downforce by creating low pressure under the car and lowers drag by shrinking the wake behind it. That improves the lift to drag ratio over the stock Stingray before any wing or splitter goes on.

Does the diffuser require drilling or cutting?

No. The diffuser bolts to the rear exhaust hanger chassis locations on the C8 Stingray through powder-coated aluminum brackets, and Verus Engineering states that no drilling or fabrication is required. The kit includes inner and outer brackets, two outer strakes and stainless hardware.

What is the difference between the aluminum and carbon Verus diffusers?

The aluminum diffuser is laser cut from 5052 sheet, press brake bent and powder coated black, with separate outer strakes. The carbon diffuser is 2x2 twill pre-preg carbon, autoclave cured and clear coated, and Verus Engineering says it reaches a higher peak performance. The aluminum version costs less.

Which exhausts does the Verus C8 diffuser fit?

Verus Engineering has not published a list of compatible aftermarket exhausts for the C8 diffuser. Because the brackets attach at the rear exhaust hanger chassis locations, an exhaust that moves the hangers or the tips could affect fitment, so check with the exhaust maker before ordering.

What front aero pairs with the rear diffuser?

Verus Engineering pairs the diffuser with its Dual Element Dive Plane Kit in the Ventus 1 package, where the dive planes add enough front downforce to balance it while keeping the car easy to live with on the street. The diffuser carries on into the larger Ventus packages with the splitters and wings.

Description

Verus Engineering Rear Diffuser for C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Verus Engineering’s Rear Diffuser for C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is where Verus suggests any Stingray aero program should start, because a well-designed diffuser adds downforce and cuts drag at once. It builds low pressure under the rear of the car and shrinks the wake behind it. The body is 5052 aluminum sheet, CNC laser cut, press brake bent and powder coated black, and it bolts to the rear exhaust hanger chassis locations with no drilling. Choose it for function at a lower cost; the carbon version adds peak performance and a carbon finish.

Design and Performance

Verus developed the shape from scan data, CAD and OpenFOAM CFD analysis to match the Stingray design language, then validated it in real-world testing. As the cornerstone of the Verus Ventus packages, it improves the lift-to-drag ratio over the stock C8.

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.
