Though its main function is to aid wake infill, at higher speeds it will create some rear downforce with very little induced drag. We thought this would be a cool weekend project with no real sales potential but there seems to be alot of interest here for a Camaro version so if you guys are serious please send me a pm. If there is enough interest I could have a prototype ready in a couple of weeks.

Some design features:
- Will fit most exhaust systems as long as there is at least a 33" space between the tips (pipes should be made single outlet and flush with trailing edge of diffuser though )
- Has about 704" sq. of effective pressure area
- Has 6 strakes (= 7 air channels)
- Needs an additional device to help airflow stay attached (laminar) which will be included with unit (this part is critical to functionality)
- Will NOT fit with CME or rear valance lip (but it would be optimal to get the exhaust gas coming out right above the unit, maybe through the bumper for you guys who are sick with a sawzall )
- Will NOT fit Firebird without hacking off some bumper trim
- Will try to make it fully bolt on but you may have to weld on a bracket
- Will probably be made of black HDPE and will not take paint too well, but durability should be fine for the street (will be looking at other materials as well)

If enough people pm me about this I am willing to put up the funding for a prototype but with that in mind remember the finished product will probably be around [EDIT: pm me for $] with the proto costing me much more, so that means like 50 interested people could get this started. Once it's made I can figure out pricing then go from there.

I am not intent on stealing 6LE customers - from the posts it looks like he is not too excited about a Camaro version and I have the design already in CAD ready to go... pm if interested or if you just have any questions.
