ACR Style Diffuser Ready for more Let s gooooo

[ACR-ISH]

Hey guys!

So I'm considering doing another run of diffusers. Need AT LEAST 10 to make it worth while to cut them. Have sold 20 so far and they went fast. Please respond here and if I get the minimum interest, I'll take deposits and cut another run of them!

They are light, mean, replaceable, made of HPDE, and replaceable!

Price for first 10?

PS: I'm the person who emailed you about the splitter too.

[USAFPILOT]

This is for the whole kit? The under trays etc.?

[BOOSTED]

I am in , put me on the list !

[ACR-ISH]

Price for first 10?

PS: I'm the person who emailed you about the splitter too.

it will be similarly priced... but that was for the first 10 The more we get the less they will cost. We ate some crow on shipping and design the first round, for sure!

Well I'm still in. Just LMK price. And would be happy to combine with splitter kit.

[USAFPILOT]

send me the price, I think i am in. I have TA1front aero. will it work with that?

[Whiskey]

What's the price?

LOL. $1600-1700. Splitter around $1250. Trying to keep it as affordable as possible!

Not sure on TA for the front splitter. I'll find a car and test it! Volunteers?

[Lawineer]

Im in for both.
Btw: would love anodized supports on the splitter

[ACR-ISH]

Brian,

Are you going on the NorCal drive on the 18th of this month? I would really like to take a good look at your car before I commit. Or would that be too late for this round?

Alan

No that should work!

Safe to say I've got enough interest. I'm gonna hammer details and begin producing another run of 10 or so. I'll take deposits on the splitter. I will look VERY close to the ACR. I'll provide some prelim pics.

Thanks guys!

I think Calvo usually has take-off ACR suspension sets in his shop if you can't find stiffer springs.

I have to navigate over some speed bumps periodically, at the stock GT ride height, do you think your diffuser would drag the ground much? And, when it does how bad is the damage?

I rub a bit and I'm LOW. It may touch on initially settling if you monster over them, but taken slowly I don't think it will be an issue.

It's just green vinyl. Sticks well!

**UPDATE***

The update everyone has been waiting for. Everything is DONE. I'll have all the parts by Friday. Goal is to ship all the paid for kits by Saturday and into Sunday (obviously they will leave Monday).

Everyone who is paid, can you PLEASE DM me full name, address email and phone number to make shipping these out in bulk a bit easier this weekend. Otherwise searching back may hinder getting them out.

SPLITTER: should be mocked up this Friday. I'll post pics once it is!

[SNKEBIT]

Sent you a pm

[Lawineer]

Email sent. Can't wait to see the splitter.

[ACR-ISH]

Should have tracking numbers today. Only waiting on splitter rods. Then ready to mock up. Stay tuned!

Sorry Gents. My partner went out sick and I've been burning the candle at both ends. Kits are getting dropped at Fedex tomorrow or Friday. Tracking will follow. Sorry for the delay. Very... very... little sleep.

[mavness]

yeah yeah yeah we all love the diffuser BUT WHAT ABOUT DAT SPLITTER BOI!?!?!?! :)

[Lawineer]

How long should we budget for the install?
Also, what do you mean by you CAN damage things with aggressive driving and low suspension settings"?

[pMak26]

Then you can mark and drill 1/2” to 3/8” hole upward and install the jack nuts. Start with 1/2”
and massage to 3/8” if needed.

I think there is a mistake in your quote of drill size. Massage to 3/8"... 3/8" is smaller than 1/2"

[ACR-ISH]

Good catch. Correct. Thanks.

[ACR-ISH]

I'm sure you can damage the diffuser by lowering your car too much, driving on crappy roads and bottoming out too much. I live in CA, our roads are GARBAGE and my car is LOW. The strakes evenly dispurse any dragging and absorb energy really well. But i know SOME ONE will always try to prove me wrong.... lol.....

Went back and forth on splitter extension rods and have a "final". As soon as I have it back I can't mount it up, get some pics, and send it out to start producing. Just playing hurry up and wait right now.

ACR-ISH, do you guys have the shorter diffuser strakes? Looks like the most common ones are the extended, I'm looking at shorter ones tho, here's the 3 sizes from DSE:

[Pdramarocks]

I finished installing my diffuser today and love it. I did have to slot the small holes on the back of the close outs a little more than they were already slotted, but it was no problem. I would also recommend loosening all the belly pan bolts so it can slide around for better alignment until you get both close outs in place.

How do you get your car in the air after this, lol.
Install was pretty easy. Decided I didn’t want to drill my underbody so I am waiting on delivery of vhb (didn’t have enough) to finish it off.
Pretty darn impressive kit for “home made.”

Interesting. I want to buy this kit but I didn’t want to drill holes. How well do you think the tape will hold? Also what did you order exactly?

[Lawineer]

I ended up just drilling into the plastic factory diffuser. They’re $250 to replace and an easy swap.

I didn’t drill into the aluminum underbody though. It will be fine without them imo. More than fine.

[Lawineer]

This kit is very impressive quality. It's definitely over built, well measured and fits perfectly. I was pretty concerned because, as someone who has done this for a living in a former life, let me tell you- it is NOT easy to do this without very expensive equipment or the original CAD models. Good hardware too.

I will likely buy Xtreme's carbon stakes just for appearances if I keep it (read below).

The few things I would recommend:

The screws that go through the diffuser: Either make the bolts longer or just use a nut with locktite. They are JUST BARELY long enough and didn't really catch. Or just use a rivet.
If you don't use a rivet gun, remove wheel well liners. Way easier to hold the nut. A small cheap electric screwdriver makes it easer too.

You may not want this if youre lowered AND have side skirts (or or the other and you're fine)

I'll keep it on, but not sure I would do it again if you are lowered and have side skirts. I'm genuinely concerned I wont be able to get it off the lift. I normally drive up on 3" low profile ramps, then jack up the rear, sliding the jack in from behind the rear tire/bumper. Then I slide under 1" blocks to get the quickjacks under. Obviously, I wont be able to use that jack point anymore. Heck, I'm not sure what happens if I get a flat tire.
I'm also very low with side skirts.
I may have to switch to a "fake" diffuser.

And you absolutely don't need to drill into the aluminum. If you're super concerned, use some sort of adhesive you can sand off later like an epoxy or JB weld, but I'm not even doing that. I have absolutely no concerns about the front bit not being screwed in. It has a dozen hard points holding it in on the frame with some bit bolts. I'm just putting silicone or RTV in there so air doesn't get in, but event that is probably pointless.

[RT SERPENT]

I use a long-swing, very low profile floor jack that slides nicely between the OEM Extreme diffuser strakes even at track height.
It's tight, but it works. (If you don't already have it, I'd suggest the DSE jack-puck for easy alignment on the jacking point as well.)

48717
48718

[Lawineer]

Nice! What make/model is that floor jack?

[RT SERPENT]

Nice! What make/model is that floor jack?
Made by Strongarm. I think it's model# 030404

48719

[Lawineer]

That looks great. Thanks!
Do you know the overall width of the jack? Is it really only 12" including the wheels?

edit: Couldn't find that one in stock but I found something similar (slightly narrower, 11" overall) and a long reach like that one for $325 to my door.

https://bbgaragestorage.com/products/ranger-rfj-3000lpf-1-1-2-ton-capacity-low-rider-super-long-floor-jack?currency=USD&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwuvmHBhAxEiwAWAYj-IyUhf9rPFjl0PCu0d9sGRBBI1GBzoYrd_5q8U7Js3Wshw2v9Bz 8FhoCOPEQAvD_BwE#specifications

It's only 1.5 tons, but that should be plenty to lift the viper for a minute while I slide some blocks under the tires.

[RT SERPENT]

Sorry, I can't find the product number on it anymore, but I think it's actually #030411 and not "030404" as I mentioned above.

Correct, it is. So far as I've been able to tell, it's an ARP clone (wing) and it mounts higher. Car also came with AP side skirts and splitter so I assume the previous owner got the whole package.

I'll be curious to hear the reports from guys who installed to see if they are having any issues with these striking the pavement leaving your driveway going over the curb, speed bumps/humps, dips in the road, etc. Looks great and probably functional to a certain degree.

Damn! FedEx Sucks! My buddies Corsa exhaust also was recently raped. Damaged and missing hardware.Telling me. Waited a few weeks just for it to show up beat up and all the blades are scratched to hell and dinged.

[Bootstrap]

Mine were the same, the strakes were pretty scratched (I thought there maybe a film to peel off but seems not) - so I figured they are going to get pretty beaten up under the car anyways so not to worry too much. I did spend $30 on eBay and bought enough wrap to coat each side in carbon fiber (poor man's carbon fiber) to give them a cleaner look - fingers crossed it holds up. As soon a the season is over I'll be installing them. Still think these are a quality product - will be discussing diffusers when he resurfaces :-)

[Lawineer]

spoke to him on the phone- should be at your door in 2 weeks or so!

[ACR-ISH]

Hey guys! Didn't mean to ghost. Been dealing with COVID and shop. Good lord. I'm back. Car is at the dealer. Splitter mounts are done. Should mock up late this week or early next and be able to start production in 2-3. They should crank out pretty quickly!

ALSO: making 10 more kits. One is pre sold, DM or PM me to get yours reserved. They are done and getting powder coated! Even if you DMed or PMed, please ping me again, still playing catch up. Thanks!!!

FINALLY... here we go. Check out the photos, then I'd love some feedback. Please read the blurb after the pics. This isn't finalized yet.

Okay.... so the details. This is HDPE, not textured. The actual unit will be TEXTURED HDPE just like the ACR. The ACR is 1/2" thick. The splitter on my car is .25" and our production version will be 3/8" thick, in between the two. ALSO, not pictured is a removable rub strip. Allens from the top. Also 3/8" thick. This will protect the splitter itself as well as the connection points from wear.

A couple things, gimme some feedback:
Splitter rods are collapsible. This allows for driveway entry without bending them. They will be available like this or with a standard adjustable rod.
Rod angles. Mine were too long so I flipped the mounts but I LOVE the way it looks. I also have 10" rods so they could look normal. I may run mine like this.
The splitter curves with the bumper. I've noticed I don't rub in and out of entry ways at all. Kinda nice!
The production piece will accept a tow hook, and we will retail a custom one, most likely.
Attachment points: MOSTLY OEM. It will attach just like the APR carbon version, and we will supply longer hardware to replace the OEM bolts and be the correct length. I've added 4 supports with 1/2" spacers so my splitter contours rather than be flat. Also, more attachment points for support. I like the look, the extra attachment points will be OPTIONAL when you get your kit. So this will truly be a NO DRILL install if you go that direction, but the extra hardware will be included.


Anyway... thanks for being patient. Please let me know what you think so far and let's get these bad boys coming!

My feedback is to stop taking crooked pictures! hahaha! One dead on a foot or two off the ground would give us a much better idea.

I'd really like 1/2" thick, even if it costs more. If for no other reason, it looks more substantial and not as cheap when it's thicker. However, stiffness increases ^3 with thickness, so that's a big difference there. The 1/2" will be about 2.5x stronger than 0.375
I like the curve, even though it's probably a lot less effective.
I like the "wide" angle.
Collapsible is genius.
Can I get mine carbon wrapped? If not, I'd prefer the gloss rather than textured.

Love the rub strip.

We can do 1/2" but I think it's overkill. A lot. 3/8' is going to be strong, functional, but also allow some flex at the far edges. Plus, the rub strip... so really the front lip will have a combine 3/4" thickness. The rub strip will be 2" deep all throughout, too. So it will provide whatever extra strength the piece itself doesn't.

The issue with the textured is it comes protected. The "gloss/smooth" does not. Sucks.

I wanted the splitter to have some personality, so we added the slight curve to follow the contour of the OEM bumper. I added the OEM ACR splitter pic for reference.

How do the feel about the crossed up struts? I like it, even thought it was intended to be temporary. Looks cool.

I'm very happy someone is taking this project on and thankful for people like you in the Viper community. As far as my feedback is concerned, I would also like for it to be 1/2" thick just because it looks more substantial (like the OEM ACR splitter). I don't hate the curve in the splitter, but I would much more prefer a round front to look like the OEM ACR splitter. And lastly, I like the rods you used, but I would want them to mount the other way. Again, really appreciate you taking this project on!

Gotcha. I'm gonna make it pretty customizable, I think it will be good if each one is the same but can be to the owner's liking. So keep the feedback coming, but I'll be open on "options" for the kit.

The struts will be 10" for traditional mounting and 12" for inverted like mine.

Being the rub strip is 3/8", we will be rolling with 3/8" thickness. The HDPE is in bulk, so this wont be customizable. 3/4" is plenty substantial at the front lip. Anymore seems way overkill.

Thanks!

Can you show a picture of the rub strips?

[ACR-ISH]

DONE!

[ACR-ISH]

Can you show a picture of the rub strips?

I can, but it will be on the production version. Basically all you will see is Allen head bolts, and the leading edge will be thick (3/4" total).

[pMak26]

Bump, stoked for this splitter.

Bump, stoked for this splitter.

Coming soon! HDPE is in, waiting on water jet to start cranking them out. Will have an update later today!

[Tamvette]

Looks great, is there a pic of the splitter from under the car or before installation?

[pMak26]

Is this still happening? Been a long time

[USAFPILOT]

Are Pics available from anyone that’s I stalked the whole kit?

[TheMadMachinist]

49901[/ATTACH [ATTACH=CONFIG]49900 Here's a couple pictures my car has lowering caps.

[USAFPILOT]

Do you have all of the under tray stuff that goes forward under the car as well?

[TheMadMachinist]

Yes. I think I will be cutting an inch off the bottom the full length on all of them. My car has lowering caps and I am dragging these things everywhere.

[pMak26]

Does anyone know what's going on with this? It seems it's been completely stalled out but I was really looking forward to getting one of these splitters.

If it's not happenings I'd just like to know to seek out alternative options.

[Bootstrap]

Yes. I think I will be cutting an inch off the bottom the full length on all of them. My car has lowering caps and I am dragging these things everywhere.

I’m lowered on Eibachs and I’m worried about the same thing, haven’t got round to installing yet. Let me know how you plan to cut them down I just may follow you ������

Guys-

Thanks for the feedback! I'm sure the rubbing on the street can get a bit annoying on the lowered cars. I actually had few people initially request LONGER strakes for the kit. That said, I'm going to shorten the strakes by 1.5" and offer a choice between strakes, or as replacement kits. I'll work on a price for this package over the weekend but feel free to give me some feedback on length.

NOW AVAILABLE!!! ACR-Style Front Splitter for Gen 5 Viper! Initial run of 10 kits. $1500 SHIPPED! Available with collapsing street rods or adjustable track struts. NO DRILLING required and mounts to factory points with supplied (elongated) hardware. 3/8 thick. Also includes replaceable 3/8 rub strip. Rub strip and splitter both laser/water jet cut and made of OEM grade HDPE - high density polyethylene (same as oem acr-e) that is textured. I attached a bunch of pics, and I will be starting a new thread with the Rear diffuser, as well as the splitter together for people who don't want to dig through 7 pages of banter! Enjoy and look out for the new post! FYI 4 kits are sold already, so I have 6 of the initial 10 left! A few of you already specified you wanted one so priority for those 6 will go to those already listed. So if you're on that list, PLEASE message, DM, text me and confirm you're ready to pay! SUPER excited for this. A few things:

There is an option for splitter rods. The one shown below is a 30lbs gas strut that collapses in and out of driveways and entryways. This has been on my car for over two months with no issues. Has NOT popped off or had any issues and acts as it should. THAT SAID, if you plan to track your car I STRONGLY suggest a fixed/adjustable rod. There is no price difference, just specify. I have NO IDEA the speed at which, if any, the gas strut MAY (or may not) fail VS. a fixed piece. So, the collapsible strut should be ordered for STREET CARS obeying SPEED LAWS. My car has been deep in the 130s, but there is no warranty or guarantee expressed or implied should one fail. So choose intelligently, please, based on your driving habits an intent for the car. For peace of mind, the kit is attached to the same 13 points under the car as the oem trays, including 2 frame mounting points. Additionally, a mount at the left and right edge of the bumper (far corner of the kit) and obviously 2 more when you include the front struts as well.

This kit requires NO DRILLING.

The HDPE is textured.

The frame mounts are replicas of the ACR, they will accept tow hook and tow hook adapters on both sides, same as the ACR. We do not sell them as there were too many options already.

Any further questions fire away, please! If you ready them PM, DM, TM or text me ASAP!

Thanks!

Looks awesome! I'm sure I'll have to order one to match your rear diffuser, which happens to now be my favorite part of the car.

Question- If I were to order either OEM or Doug Shelby splitter rods/cables, would they work with this splitter?

THANKS!

If you can get me a measurement of the rods end to end at minimum and maximum adjustment I can let you know. Both of those have a ton of room for adjustment so I would assume you could make it work.

LAST PIC/ABOVE Protective Covering still on HDPE. As requested to keep it from being scratched or marred.

[mah48092]

Just stumbled on this. Do you have any rear diffuser kits still available? I have a "plain Jane" non-E ACR and would like to put these on. Let me know, my email is mah48092@aol.com. Thanks.

[ACR-ISH]

I will check! Down to one or two. E-mailing you!

[mavness]

Is the front splitter for sale/shipping yet?

[Lawineer]

Are you shipping replacement strakes yet? I'd like to buy some wrapped in carbon :D
Mine arrived all scratched up for some reason. Can't really see it under the car, but that's my excuse!

[GTS Dean]

Is this gas rod a final part of the kit, or just an interim item that fits?

[ptat]

This is the response I received regarding the OEM splitter strut length:
“Roughly 10-12”. There’s an opportunity to go an inch or two shorter with a different top piece. You can go a little longer but you will start to run out of thread overlap.”

Let me know if the OEM struts would work with your splitter. Thanks!

Hey, have you tried this on a track? Does it been or deform at speed? I already know I would want to use the struct but I just want to know what happens at speed with how it looks?

Thanks.

[mavness]

Ive been emailing, and PMing, trying to get a splitter. Is this still happening?

[mavness]

:'(

[ACR-ISH]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Yes. I'm sorry. It's been a challenging few months. My business is busy and my partner left. We are back on track!

I HAVE TEN MORE REAR DIFFUSERS COMING. 3 are basically pre sold from the DMs I got as mentioned above, you will have first allocation.

Finalizing the Splitter brackets and doing some high speed pulls Sunday and I will be back with an update! Thank you for consistently reaching out and keeping in touch. I'm not dead.... but it was questionable there for a minute! LOL.

Stay tuned, DM or text me for a DIFFUSER.... Splitter not ready YET... but very close. Brian @ 707-347-6600. Introduce yourself (real name and handle) and let me know what you're interested in!

THANK YOU!!!!

Sure, you just have to drive down here. I don’t go north of mockingbird unless I’m getting paid by the hour haha

What's the cost on these diffusers now? I'm having some real envy at this moment. Are these actually aero functional or more so for looks?

My rear bumper definitely gets dirtier, lol.

I have a pretty nice rooster tail, especially for having a wing. I can't imagine why it would be any different than the ACR diffuser.

Do you still have any of them for sale?

[Ritroman]

An observation. The front splitter pictures shown above differ from the factory ACR splitter in that it appears that this splitter is flat-bottomed. The factory ACR splitter is concaved on both sides and in the center to the rear of the splitter. I think the ACR splitter is concaved to accommodate airflow to the ACR brake ducts and to the engine. ACR brake ducts attach to the bottom of the lower controls directly behind the splitter assembly. I think the factory ACR splitter shape also produces downforce by creating low air pressure.

I'm confused, can you be more specific as to what you mean by the ACR splitter is concaved? Are you referring to the street extension or the track extension?

[Ritroman]

What I am saying is that the splitter is not flat. Take a good look at one and you will see what I am talking about. Where the splitter mounts to the frame is where it begins to ramp upward into the engine compartment and wheel wells.

[Soulja B3AR]

After sitting in my garage for about six months I finally got around to installing the rear diffuser. Other than one spot (per side) where an original bolt that connected the OEM diffuser to the rear diff cover didn't align with the close-out, fitment was great. I ended up leaving those 2 bolts off, but will likely come back and drill through the close-out to resolve. Other than that, initial results are awesome.

Hey all! Sorry I'm not here much. Best contacts are email: holler@maddwrapps.com or on Instagram @maddwrapps. I have 10 more just dropped off. 5 are gone. 5 left. Obviously EVERYTHING has seen increases so we are retailing these at $2500 plus $300 to ship. Offering discounts for those buying more than one. Regarding wrapping them: I cant do that before I ship, it doesn't survive shipping well. Find a local shop and I'm sure they would be happy to help. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't respond here or PM me for these, I'm not on much. Just email or DM me on instagram. My shop line is 707-220-3500 in case neither of those options works. Text is best. THANK YOU! OVER 50 kits installed, tracked and tested!!! -Brian

Enjoy some updated pics!
