ZL1 Addons Challenger Rear Diffuser
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ย. 2018
- After failing on my first Rear Diffuser purchase I went out and purchased the Rear Diffuser from ZL1 Addons. I'm really digging the look it's subtle yet aggressive and is functional as per the ZL1 site.
Even though some of the surfaces are a teeny bit rough for my hyper critical OCD and the plastic is darker than the stock valence it's OK from viewing height. I'm not knocking the product I just like to make people with heightened OCD like myself aware of exactly what they are getting so they can make informed decisions.
It's priced perfect for the look and functionality and I am really impressed with the no drill install. It looks like a lot of thought went into designing this product and I can honestly say it's money very well spent. Great product ZL1!!!

This is one of the better looking units for the Challenger.
Awesome video man thanks.... looks great loving the car going to be my next install loving the channel and the topics you touch on. As a dad with two young kids I know how it is trying to do mods to the car with your little ones there while still trying to keep your youth and have a sweet ride! Kudos
Thank you, That's why go go dark for a few weeks sometimes ;) it's a tough balance sometimes, but it helps that my son likes to hang out while I work.
Just ordered one for my 2016 RT. I appreciate your straightforward honest videos. Thanks.
This is the ticket right here! I absolutely love how it looks and no drilling or modifying needed to install! What a perfect and clean install! You're car looks so killer buddy great video!
Thanks man, your car is killing it as well.
Exactly! No "alerations" needed for this modification (except for possibly needing to install a couple rivnuts). I like that.
This is like a dream come true! 2 projects in a row that you post that I can actually also do myself!! Sweeeeeeet!
;) awesome
Another great install video. You always make it look simple. Looks outstanding! Thanks for the post
Thank you 🙏
That's the perfect definition of "Insult to Injury" Thanks for the review. Nice job!
What do you mean?
Just ordered mines I choose the Black powder coated option for my 2019 R/T Scat Pack. And I used your code which still works 2 years later lol. Thanx for the awesome review bud.
Hey almost 3 years later I’m still loving it 🧡
Just placed my order, thanks for the great video/review!
Nice 💪
You have just made me add this kit to my wish list of part to put on my 392...Thanks and good work on your car. I think it look bad ass brother!
Thank you!!
cant wait to install mine!!! Thanks for the discount code!!!!
Anytime I really love how this diffuser looks.
Just bought this for my challenger scat pack.,I really like the easy install and not having to do any aftermarket drilling.
Only thing I don't like with this product is it's a huge difference in the color of diffuser and the factory shield
It looks just as good on your car as it does on my car. I love it!!
Great vid buddy!! Diffuser looks awesome!!
Thank you 🙏
Been waiting for this install video! 👍🏼
🙂
Your videos are amazing!!! Very informative. Love it. 👌🏾
Thank you 🙏
I've been debating doing one of these on my T/A 392, after seeing this... It's a done deal. Your car looks great btw!
Thank you 🙏 and congrats on your future purchase
Nice install video - footage and commentary spot on. Love how it looks when the car is slammed. 👍👍
Thank you 🙏 and it’s not even slammed in the video I realized after i shot the pics that I didn’t air out all the way.
That totally changes the look of the car, very nice!
🙏 thank you
Thanks I'm definitely going to add this to my challenger
:) go for it!
That looks mean ! Looks so good ! With car all the way down wow your looks amazing
Thank you
Hell yes!!! Gonna order tomorrow
Nice !
Excellent vid as always bud! 👍
Thank you 🙏
I ordered one for my 2017 Daytona. Thanks for the discount coupon.
Awesome 😉 enjoy
That looks like a nice add on.
Yup, gettin that! Looks great, thanks for the video!
Nice and your car is killing it already 👌
Work Play Drive trust trying to get on your level boss! Changes are coming! 😈😈😈
Your wrap still looking good great job I would like to wrap mine in a matte sandstorm vinyl looks totally bad ass
Yeah it’s holding up really well for my first attempt. Matte sandstorm sounds awesome 😎
Great video! Im definately looking to do this mod next
I’m very pleased with the quality and look of mine so far 👌
Great channel !!!! Keep up the work. Just subscribed 👌👍
Thank you 🙏
Very interesting. It looks good and functional. Like #143
I love how those taillights look 👀
Thank you, me too, it's the inner and outer fade set from luxe bit.ly/LuxeChallengerInner
Looks great man! I thought I was OCD, but you take it to another level. HAHA! :)
It looks amazing and so does your car bro! Mopar on!
Thank you
Take a look at my car, may bring back some memories from your scat pack. You inspired me with yours!!
Nice pack! Love it!
Thank you 😊
Looks great on there good install video might look good wrapped with same color vinyl as on car
The surfaces are textured sadly wrapping is not an option without sanding and coating.
I have the same diffuser on my RT Shaker. I personally think that ZL1 should have used the same pop rivets they used for the wicker bill would have made it easier and quicker in my opinion to install. I also spent about an hour installing it and I think with the pop river set it would have take maybe 15 minutes to do it. That’s just my two cents. I do love the look and I honestly could feel the difference in my ride.
Looking good!!!
Thanks brother!
Thanks for the video. That was an incredible representation of the install. I peeped under my 2018 GT an the holes are not threaded, so I am hoping the install is not too much more complicated with the “special rivnuts”. But, I’m placing my order tonight with your code because I regard you opinion as straight from family 🙂 and I didn’t buy the last one that you reviewed but didn’t install because of the crappy quality.Thanks again!
Thank you 🙏 rivnuts are gold and super easy to use. You’ll need to get the tool though, they sell it for a fair price on the same page. Enjoy
@@WorkPlayDrive Too bad, it didn't work out well for me. I have it on, but 1 bolt in my chassis is not stable. Do they make 1/4 20 rivet nuts that compress to a larger radius? Everyone says "it's such an easy tool" but I can't get the rivet nuts to compress large enough while squashed at a strange angle under the body of my car. At my workbench, it IS an easy tool.
Sorry man, Rivnut crimpers can be a little tricky if you don't have a good area to work in.
@@WorkPlayDrive not your fault. I just gave it another go with the car on stands. I used all of my strength and crimped the rivnut so hard that it fused to the tool (not kidding, the threads must be stripped at this point) and still didn't fit in the hole of the cross bar. So, I gave it my best and now I have an usable tool. Their epic customer service response was "well, no one else had a problem with it." I wont buy a thing from them again and wont recommend this company at all to anyone. Thanks for the video though, glad you had a good experience.
@@WorkPlayDrive I just ordered another tool from Amazon that will allow me to use a ratchet and a wrench. I'll let you know how it works, and I'm mailing this one back to zl1 with the nut on it.
I see you taking it back off and sanding smooth the ruff routed edges and polishing them out. lol! It would be a fairly easy job and suspect you are planning on doing it, you know, with the OCD and all. 😉 Looks great, by the way!
Trying to let things go 😬. To be honest once on the car those tiny flaws are not noticeable at all. I’m probably going to polish the visible areas. My son loves winning trophies so I can’t let him down.
@@WorkPlayDrive Do it for you son, man! 👍
WEEEEEEEEEEE.... That nut went for a ride, hahaha. Yeah, not much room under that big ol' pan for hands & arms to get to those inner 2 nuts & washers in place, huh? Nice video, very informative & thorough. I can appreciate your attention to details & this looks like a product that I would definitely consider buying. As of yet, I don't "show" my car, but I may in the future once I get it to where I feel it's ready. Thanks for the tip on this.
Looks damn good
Thank you!
Looks great. The car has come a long way. I'm sure you have some more plans though.
Running out of ideas tho 😂 I don’t want it to end up on the $hi!!y_car_mods subreddit
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
The threaded holes on the rear cradle near the rear differential are on 2015 & 2016 1/2 models (don't know about yrs prior) . FCA changed to non-threaded holes mid 2016 for some odd reason. The defuser looks awesome on your ride man. Most differential braces require a good amount of torque & I don't think that a brace/defuser combo would allow for both to work properly. I will keep my pre4ormance Development brace. Thats just IMO.
I'm thinking a threaded insert with the same shear strength and a nut to hold down the brace would work then cut down the standoffs and install the diffuser.
Nice video sir just ordered one
Thank you. I went back to these when I got my hellcat. Love this look.
Curious, you thinking about adding a wicker bill?
looks like a nice part.
Yes, it is
I plan on buying this for my 23 SXT. I keep hearing and seeing what a pain those 4 rear bolts are. So what I'm going to do is remove the 4 clips, Drill the holes out to 3/8" and use special 1/4 20 riv nuts. Will be much easier and plenty strong enough.
Damn that looks nice! I got the window louvers, Wickerbill and this would be a great addition. My challenger is lowered, would this diffuser scrape a lot?
Thank you. It may scrape on steep driveways it does lower the rear clearance a few inches.
‘nother good video...looks great...👍
Thank you!
I realize this is a few years old, but why not just bend the metal instead of using those 2 standoffs near the differential? Seems like it would be a better fit no? Just an observation based more on ZL1’s design. You’re channel helped me decide on my Challenger T/A 392. 🤘🏻
Looks awesome!! Anyplans on doing the complete kit. Front, sides, and rear splitters?
I have the sides and the rear side extenders from ZL1 in I just have not installed them yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks. I’m not really into the front spitter look though. Just personal preference though
You give an idea how to make like that easier.. all I need is a good material..
But, I'll try an stainless stell.. and just paint it according to my desire..
Thank you for the video..
Looks really good on your car.
Thank you 🙏
Work Play Drive, I noticed Z L1 Adons has 3 different diffusers could you tell me which one you purchased. Thank you in advance outstanding video.
I wonder if you took a buffer at high speed it would give the rougher edges a smoother shinier finish. Maybe even use some plastic polish. Just a thought. Nice tutorial. I’m thinking of getting one now. Very nice!
To be honest on the car it’s really fine. I don’t even see any flaws until I get down close to it. I just like to point out tiny flaws for the hyper critical people so people can make an informed decision.
6:24 ....I dam near fell out of my chair laughing haha
That's how I imagined that car in the background looked.
@@WorkPlayDrive its probably 100% accurate
Great install video. The diffuser looks great! I'm planning on a diff brace so I don't think this will work for me. Dang!
It looks like it will but you may need to cut the stand-off down an inch and re-tap.
That was my first thought, I already have the diff bracket
It uses the same holes right? So I’m thinking if you cut down the stand offs, tap and use threaded inserts with the same shear strength it should work 🤔
Will have to contact ZL1 if they can make the adjustments before ordering.
Please let me know how you make out, a bunch of people have already mentioned the brace install...
Any chance you remember the size and pitch of the bolts on the posts that screw into the frame brace? At first I thought mine has threads but after watching another video on this now I have no idea. Do you at least know if they were SAE or metric?
Nice video. I'm getting ready to order this. Your car's obviously bagged, however, my SRT is lowered a couple inches. Do you think the diffuser will be in jeopardy of hitting the ground when navigating driveways?
With one or 2 inches lower most driveways will be perfectly fine as long as you go with their standard diffuser. I usually drive about 1.75 inches lower than stock and didn’t have many issues.
The times I did hit the ZL1 diffuser is really sturdy and other than a few scuffs out of sight she was fine.
That's great news. Thanks for responding!
Got the same one, clean subtle mod, not like the other huge ugly ones imo. Good price too and easy install.
Thank you, I'm really enjoying the look of this mod.
It's like a painting. Looks great at 10ft
Hey did you get thay back plastic painted? Looks nice. Thanks
Thank you, my black plastics are all original unpainted.
Great video as yooz. Is there information regarding if you have a diff brace installed prior to the diffuser?
Not yet but I’m looking to get one and figure it out.
Any luck with the diff brace and diffuser compatibility?
this you wrap or paint the underbelly surround? it looks darker then the ABS look
Great videos thank you! Did you notice any reduction of dust/dirt collection on the rear end after install?
Nope she still gets dusty butt after a good cruise
@@WorkPlayDrive diffused dusty butt still looks good though! Thanks you!
Hello, new Challenger owner here, 2016 scat pack shaker AND a new sub as well, love ALL your videos and the way you explain things are clear and at the perfect speed to comprehend things lol I just have one question about the rear diffuser on your car. When i went to the ZL1 website is says powder coated or raw aluminum, which one did you get, mahalo in advance!
Thank you. I had both the powder coated and raw. To be honest it really doesn't matter. The part that changes is the metal piece the connects you your rear dif brace. No one can see it unless they are laying under your car. The part does not rust so the powder coating is more of an OCD thing ;)
@@WorkPlayDrive thank you for actually responding back that means a lot much mahalos!
Glad to help 💪
I have a diff brace on my hellcat can I use the same bolt for diff brace.
Dude i love your videos.....every time i see you post a video, before i open it to look i go get my wallet ..lol
Thank you! The trick is to hide the wallet then watch ;)
Have you noticed the back bumper staying cleaner? Just wonder seem like my bumper is covered with dust and road debris after just short trips around town. Thanks great video
Unfortunately no I really wish there was a solution for this
Is the gas tank underneath the back bottom of the frame?or is there the frame then a plastic tank
Would I be able to get this for my 2019 challenger? Your car looks amazing btw
I believe so they probably just didn’t update the site. Just give them a ring to confirm.
I got an older model challenger, am I able to put a newer model rear bumper and do this?
Not sure about the bumper swap. but Zl1 makes a diffuser for the older models as well.
Has this improved performance/eliminated the parachuting you mentioned?
No noticeable difference in driving at highway speeds.
I laughed when he said "bagged"
Another thought, the aluminum part the bolts are metal. That means there will be some corrosion with two dissimilar metals. I would maybe get some equal sized rubber fender washers to insulate the metal against the aluminum.
I’ll keep any eye on it and see it it shows any signs of corrosion.
My OCD is hating the ass end of my widebody Challenger. 5 minutes down the road after a wash/wax and it looks like I never touched it. I am only considering the diffuser in hopes it re-directs the airflow away from the rear of the vehicle, keeping the dust down. Can you confirm/deny that the diffuser helps?
Thanks :)
It’s still dirty after driving even with the diffuser 😢
I’ve been looking at this diffuser online for 4 days now.I actually seen your car I believe on the website looks really good.Just one question does a scrape on the ground at all have bottom it out at all ? I’m thinking about ordering it today for my redeye thank you
My driveway sicks for low cars and at stock height this does not scrape. With the redeye I would not recommend the deluxe version, it's much lower and definitely scrapes.
I've been driving with this one for a few years now and it is made extremely well. I hit hard once when I left my driveway aired out too far. it was one of those butt clenching hits where I really thought the diffuser was done for. I just scuffed the plastic a little. check out my video here at 6 minutes and 9 seconds th-cam.com/video/hhxYqxYiG4Y/w-d-xo.html
Just want to say thank you👍 I just ordered mine I did not order the deluxe ..I think it would bottom out in my driveway 🤔I also use your promo code thank you very much and I ordered the tool on Amazon .I’ll do a video when I get it thanks again😎👍
Nice! Would you recommened any of the 392 challengers over another? (T/A 392, Scat Pack, SRT 392, etc...). I'm debating on trading in my SXT and not sure if I should shoot high for a Hellcat or be happy with a 6.4L or even a Camaro SS etc...
I can't speak for the camaro but as for the Challenger this is up to you. I love my Scat pack, but the whine of the hellcat is addicting. if you can afford the hellcat without it being a burden go for it. As for the 392s you have 2 things to consider. the body style and the included packages. The differences in the models would be the suspension (active vs static), tires (245 vis 275 wide) and brakes (6 piston vs 4 piston) in 2019 I believe you can stuff all those options in a scat pack ;)
@@WorkPlayDrive thank you! In terms of speed/power...do you think the 392s can be a formidable opponent to other sports cars? Or is the Hellcat in your opinion the only one? Keep up the great work! Your vids are inspirational!
The 392 is a lot of power. It more than meets my needs. If you race and plan to build up the car It’s not the best choice if you plan to add boost later.
EBsting if you want to keep up with the other sports cars (vettes etc) you're going to have a much better starting platform with the Hellcat. Then mod it with a pulley, tune, E85 etc and you'll be in the 9's and destroying other cars. :)
Already on it! Here is a little secret, If you follow me on instagram you will see my recent addition of a 2018 Hellcat Widebody ;)
I was saying the same thing about the number matching 😂 am I the only that’s wants to paint all my trim
Solid black
Will this fit my girlfriends 2013 sxt. Or perhaps do they make one for her car?
You may have to give them a call I only see this available for 2015 and up.
How and where do I get one like that? Drop a link please thanks
Looks sweet dude! Gives the car a much meaner look, do you know if that diffuser would scrape at all?
Yeah you loose a few inches in the rear. I’ve scraped on my way out of the driveway when driving with my suspension low. My driveway is pretty extreme though.
The good side is the bottom is super sturdy and the curve on the base allowed it to drag without issue.
I’ll have more on this after driving for a while.
@@WorkPlayDrive sweet, thanks for the response bud
Where do you actually buy this particular diffuser? I have a sxt 2016 challenger and looking to make some mods

Hey man I haven't looked so can you tell me does the 15' Scat have a threaded cross member or non threaded? Not sure which one to go with.
Sadly it’s different on every car even in the same model year. you need to look to be sure.
@@WorkPlayDrive Wow you'd think there would be consistency there but I guess that's not the case.
Ive got an early 15 scat and so many weird parts. I’ve got hellcat axels R/T logos on my seats, mini springs in my active exhaust and so many other weird parts on my car.
Looks great !! I'm still trying to decide weather to trade in my '18 Scat-Pac with shaker Automatic for a Manual. I'm a manual guy so . But I still have to wait because my dumb ass least to own so I feel like I'm wasting my money right know if I trade her in .
I love Driving a manual with a deep hearty exhaust, Its just more enjoyable to me. I agree though the car can’t be a burden on the finances then it’s no longer fun
Since my Challenger is a 2014 & this product only fits 2015-newer, have you seen or heard of a similar product (one that has that extended "pan" to fully direct the airflow) to fit '08-'14 Challengers? I did some searching already, but it seems all I can find are mostly "universal" diffusers that have just the rearmost portion of this one, which doesn't lead me to believe that they would be as effect in directing airflow. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks
Sorry this was the first of its kind that I found so far.
No worries, this is a project that I'm considering dong sometime down the road. I did find a video by BJ's garage of a similar diffuser that is made for '08-'14 Challengers. It looked like a decent product & easy to install, but, oh jeez, they left no link or info about it. The video was from 2016, but I left them a comment anyway to inquire about it. Take care.
I was considering the BJs garage, it’s a great quality product I was just looking for something a little less aggressive.

Bro where to get that lowering spring or drop off your car hight ?
The car is on air suspension so I can adjust my height as needed.
I have a 16 scat pack, would I have to order a threaded or non threaded ?
There is no way to know what FCA put on your car you have to go under and take a look.
How much does this thing weigh? I'm considering one but i don't want to add a ton of unnecessary weight. Looks badass and the install is straight forward.
Not sure of the total weight but it's pretty lite. I can hold it in one hand easily.
@@WorkPlayDrive They finally got back to me. It's about 8lbs give or take. In case anyone wonders in the future.
Wonder if they discount their products? Especially around this time.
I have a 5% code for now but maybe right before Xmas it may bump up.
Do you have a video for that active exhaust valve.
Here you go th-cam.com/video/Q5sOpe1FfI0/w-d-xo.html
handle any differently? for non-bagged cars, scraping on uphill driveways should be a concern?? interstate mileage increase? all of these diffusers look like they catch air, even this one, any windtunnel or colored smoke tests done with these things?
I don’t see any issue with non lowered cars and scraping I only scrape when lowered 2” on my driveway.
I would assume it’s less resistance. The bumper catches air like a parachute. This guides the are past that lowering the resistance at the rear of the car.
Does your car have wheel hop since you bagged it
Not sure I have not launched it in a while. When I get a chance I'll give it a go.
Does this fit any challenger, I have a 2010 srt
this is 15 - 18, Check out the BJ Garage Diffuser his are made for 08 and up. www.bjsgarage570.com/store/fo_3/defender-series-competition-diffuser-dodge-challenger- I also have a discount with them Code: workplaydrive for 15% off.
What lowering springs did you use ?
The car is on Universal air bags and struts
Is the hardware stainless?
Will this work if u have back up sensors?
Yes no issues with my backup sensors. 👍
Dual tips will go great with that diffuser instead of those generic tips
I haven’t found a set I like. I’m thinking of having these powder coated in matte black
@@WorkPlayDrive Just PlastiDip (Matte Black) the tips, I did this at the beginning of the summer and I am really surprised their holding up so well
Interesting, I would have assumed the dip would fail due to the heat... good to know now I can see how I would like it.
@@WorkPlayDrive PlastiDip is a general term, the product I used was Rust-Oleum (Peel Coat) Matte Black. This was 7-8 months ago that I put it on figure at this point it's pretty much a permanent solution without having to buying anything else.
@@WorkPlayDrive Also, the finish comes pretty darn close to the plastic bumper, you may want to paint the diffuser with it. Good Luck
Can you still have a differential brace?
Yes, depending on the brace you will need to change the mounting hardware.
