Default galvez diffuser

i been looking for ideas so i can make a diffuser this winter and came across a

company named Galves customs that makes a diffuser for a

miata. ive been searching for reviews for a couple days and keep coming up

empty. has anyone ever heard of them? have experience with them? the price

isnt bad, it seems like a good base to build off of.

Galvez Customs ? NA Miata Diffuser v1

Bumper has to be cut to evacuate that air pocket. Worry about the front first.

i emailed Galves about a splitter and they said they don't have one available but will make

one to any specs you would like. if the bumper was cut to release the captured air do you

think this diffuser has a efficient design?

would be a good base to start from? i have emailed Galves about a splitter

and they said they dont have one available but would make one to any

spec/size you would like.

I know of only a couple NAs that have tested it at the track. I haven't heard from Warhorse in a while. Is he still making them?

JUNK used one on a gr sti once. the driver took one 2 wheel off on track and it exploded. fitment wasnt good either and angles were not ideal. i dont know how the miata ones are but i doubt they are any better.

You mean the air pocket that actually lowers drag?
