Default Do I need to replace my 17 diffuser in order to add aftermarket exhaust?

Hi, I am looking to do RR tune + quite aftermarket exhaust(little louder than OEM)
And newer 17 model muffler tip is not circle shape. If I repalce to Invidia Q300 axle back, do I need to get another diffuser? or will it fit with my original diffuser?
Thanks!

Aftermarket exhaust should fit with your stock 2017 diffuser, unless it's a quad tip then it won't fit. I have an aftermarket with mine and had no issues with fitment.

Thanks for the information. Do you have any pic of your aftermarket exhaust with oem diffuser? What kind of exhaust setup do you have?

Look at Saneddie's build in the build thread.

I'm looking at doing a similar setup. I probably going to get the Q300, but not sure if want to find a new diffuser to make it mesh better or go to quad tips to fill out the opening for the 2017. For now, I probably will just have the '17 diffuser and Q300.

I am going with Q300 for now and get the mid pipe later...not enough money to afford all at once. haha
