yes, diffusers are the little vertical fins. They are used on race cars to help smooth the flow of air from under the car so a high pressure area wont form under the car. Low pressure under the car = more grip at high speed. I think they look great 
(not with a stock front bumber tho). and i've never heard a netami muffler. actually, i didnt know the made them, lol. Netami makes good stuff, I bet its a good investment

RE: The official un-ricing of the Civ (or an attempt)
so what would mine be then? buddy club 1? i really like the stock look, just real clean ya know?
Any more muffler opinions? I found a "Mugen Twin Loop" clip on YouTube and it sounds sooooo smooth but cant find it anywhere online. Anyone know where to get a Mugen Twin Loop muffler?

cant wait to lower this thing though! k i know how to cut the bump stop, got air tools, gonna get some oil penetrating spray (would WD40 work?), anything else i need to watch out for/know baout before i install these S-Techs?

first of all , have you checked out my sound clips of the RSR. Haha just kidding, I know you prob don't want to buy a whole new exhaust when you already have one. I'd go with the twin loop, i'm a big fan. (in case you didn't know, the rs*r has a twin loop within the muffler, so you just don't see it).
On the wheels, if you are driving it, i'd take off the decals. They look like they need a good powerwashing too. But if you're selling them, i don't know. In a way, I think it would help you get more money, but sometimes I know I just look at things, and if it doesn't LOOK mint, I just pass it up, so i'm not sure.
And on the rear bumper, I'd say no kit, but that's just me. Maybe look into a kit? But the stock 99-00 rear bumper looks pretty good as is, so i'd save the money for something more productive.

Oh, just saw the WD40 thing. It probably won't help in this case, cuz those bolts are going to be stuck anyway. But check out this stuff called PB Blaster. It is AMAZING. It's like magic. It seeps into everything and works much better than WD 40. Like I said, still probably won't help, but worth a shot. I installed my two sides a week apart. And on one side 2 bolts broke. Then I had to wait a week before I had time for the other and I sprayed PB every day until then and one on the other side came out. so maybe worth a shot on the bolts that connect the lca to the trailing arm. But just forget it on the ones through the lca and just snap 'em

oh i already got the Buddy Club rear bumper sittin out in my garage ready to be put on if thats what your talkin about, unless your talking about getting a lip kit for the rear, which i would prolyl skip cuz it really doesnt change the look of the rear that much IMO
and yea i think i'd heard that about the RSR before,i dont think i've ever heard a bad clip of a twin loop muffler, even on stock piping, so with my resonator/new piping i think it'd sound pretty damn good....
and i think i'm gonna put some Goo Gone on the wheels before i go to bed and let them sit all night then take the decals off tomorrow, and my friend down the street has a pressure washer so i can clean the rims up real nice. And who knows, with the new black Civ and the new drop, maybe the white rally rims wont look so bad

def keep the stock bumper....that other one looks like somethin off of a spaceship lol and as for the rims, sand those sucker's down niiice and repaint em with a couple of coats of duplicolor white, then gloss 2-3 coats too. Im not sure you can get 375 without the rubber though, thats kinda expensive for the shape their in. fixing them would def decrease the price too....i wouldnt wanna buy wheels for that much if someone just spray painted them.....

RE: The official un-ricing of the Civ (or an attempt)
k, decided i'm going twin loop. OBX vs. Netami, anyone know if the Netami is THAT much better?
The only mugen twin-loop i could find was either axle back or catback, and they were all $700 anyway, so is the Netami worth the extra $40 over the OBX?
