Upgrading Rear Diffuser and First OBDeleven Mods!

#myCupra #CUPRA #SeatLeon #DIYAuto #EA888 #IS38 #OBDeleven #Rieger #Diffuser
This is the 5th video about my new project car, the Seat Leon Cupra 2019 model. In this episode I am installing the aftermarket rear "diffuser" from Rieger and I am also sharing all OBDeleven mods I have applied so far.
From this experience I can tell that this component gives the car a more-aggressive look and I believe there is no such functionality as a "diffuser". Perhaps I should create a custom REAL diffuser, although taking advantage of its capabilities can be done at very high speeds? Let's see...
I have decided to keep showing the Cost of Goods (CoG) in the video description rather than within the video:
RIEGER diffuser -------------------- 210
Extra screws ------------------------- 1.1
OBDEleven Pro --------------------- 150
TOTAL [EUR] ------------------------- 361.1
GRAND TOTAL [EUR] ------------ 983.1

[@tobylancaster9344]

Just fit mine today using this video, brilliant video mate. I agree I hate drilling and using different screw to the oem one.

thanks good info, i'm about to order this diffuser, although you need a bigger exhaust 😀

[@javitobosch]

🙌 Agree! This will be the ideal upgrade for spring time! Stay tuned! 😉

Great video. Audio was a little off for me but easy to understand!

[@javitobosch]

Hi Matthew! Thanks a lot for your comment and for sure I will take this into consideration for the next one! 😉

[@TheCinderellaman10]

Maybe the Maxton design would be a better fit but a little less aggressive in the looks department compared to the Reiger

[@javitobosch]

Good suggestion! Thanks!

[@steineins]

That isnt good for areo because its much lower ?

[@javitobosch]

Hi was geht! Thanks for your question! What I meant to say is that the Rieger diffuser will provide a more aggressive look to the rear end of this car but I doubt it will be of any aerodynamic advantage (I haven’t tested it) as there is a noticeable gap between the rear muffler and the diffuser that can create air-pressure at high speeds. The aim of a rear diffuser is to help escape the air beneath your car, improving the overall downforce (the car sticks to the ground). A rear diffuser usually ends towards the middle of the vehicle and is used in combination with a front splitter/diffuser. The flatter the vehicle’s bottom, the more aerodynamic advantage you will gain. This advantage is noticeable at high speeds, not on a daily drive. Also, lowering the car might help (shorter air-gap between the car and the road, more air-pressure/speed is generated). A few years ago, I helped developing a front/rear diffuser kit for a Caterham (UK MSVR Championship) and that thing was simple and huge! We made it adjustable, so it could be tuned depending on the track. Check out this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKOqm3eEjZ2XhqM) from XF Motorsports in which a diffuser kit is developed for an Audi RS3. Hope this helps!

Any new mods?

[@javitobosch]

Hi Giroud. Unfortunately, I have been busy with the next video. I haven't had the time to keep digging in OBDEleven. Next video about the CUPRA soon =)
