Vorsteiner GTS Diffuser Hardware

My bad if this is in the wrong section but I purchased a used vorsteiner GTS diffuser and I’m having trouble locating the appropriate hardware for it. Based on some videos I’ve seen, I thought I bought the right stuff but my local shop said they weren’t even close lol.

Looking for any direction here. Any input is appreciated!

I haven't installed my gtsv diffuser yet so I was able to take a pic of this. The hardware kit that came with it.

Very helpful, I think I need to get longer ones then. Thanks for taking the time and sending the pic over.

Vorsteiner is the absolute worst in providing installation hardware. I have bought many parts from them over the years and they have not once provided all that it is needed. I bought some sideskirts from them one time for like $2,500, and they stuck a bag of random nuts/bolts in the box. It was embarrassing.

So don’t feel bad, you’d have to buy your own hardware anyway.

Lmao, thanks for the heads up! I guess I just need to get the right length then. Will try and go tomorrow then.

Self tappers are your friend, but she’ll look great once squared away!

Is it just me or did Vorsteiner change the design of the GTS-V diffusers? I swear on their website their diffuser fins look longer.

The GTS and GTS-V are different. The GTS-V has always had longer fins which in my opinion look out of place. GTS is what I always buy as shown in my picture.

It's the ONLY diffuser I'd run, but fitment is more misses than hits. I had to ask for a couple of exchanges to even get to the point of acceptable in my eyes. Having a pro body shop do the install is de rigueur.

How people pony up mega wads of cash to buy anything produced by Peter Nam's Guntherwerks is beyond me. All his CF probably comes from some industrial shack in China. It's bs.

Good luck!
