What about diffuser without belly pan? Belly pan is a more difficult install :/



Where? If that's actually true I'm switching the Subie spoiler out.
If you're gonna do 'track days' with the Subie,then go all the way down with a flexible airdam and expect it to scrub all the time,like Porsche's new CAYMAN GT4.
You'll gain 0.5% mpg according to one researcher.

As to the diffuser,their function is predicated upon a 'perfect' belly pan upstream.There cannot be any turbulence leading to the diffuser or it won't perform.
The longer you stare at the underside,the better you'll discover opportunities for attachment points.

Also,there may be some MPGs in your side mirrors.Take a look at Ford's 2017 $400,000 GT.
Minimum mirror frontal area,on a very thin (strong) mounting stalk,moved significantly outboard into slower air.Until camera systems are approved by the DOT we're gonna have to cheat all we can.
