Was testing some flow through some different pipe angles before so i can get the right angles when i start on my F-DUCT so the air isnt disturbed. But looking at this the bottom angle is to sharp.

Well my first gen sidepods were always low which were about the hight of the diffuer but i have raised it so the exhaust will sit inside them and the air will work better with the diffuser and beam wing.

From sketch-tech article:
however the Cottrell Diffuser is notably difficult to capture view of.
