Default Diffuser questions...

This is no doubt a silly newb question, but, having installed the Europipe, and not being able to see it with this diffuser, has got me wondering about two other things with the diffuser besides its propensity to drag: is there any issue with the engine compartment not being open at the bottom as far as heat dissipation (I assume no, since the engine temp runs right at 175 ALWAYS, but also assume the car was designed for that area to be open to the environment), and as far as me not being able to see if it's dropping any fluids (also assume no, but...). LOVE the sound of the Europipe!!!

The water temperature gauge on these cars is not accurate. Use oil temperature as the best engine temperature indicator.
