That's not a Hamann diffuser. It looks more like an ACS or a 3D Design diffuser. Probably 3D because I don't remember the fins on the ACS being that pronounced as I used to have one on my 545.

No it's not ACS on the 1st pic as ECF said if you look at carefully the edges are different between them as ACS has more soft edges.
ACS has no 'lip' around the tailo pipe opening.

Yeah, the first pic is not ACS. If you look at the fins, the ones in the first pic is larger at the top and tapers down at the bottom whereas the ones on the ACS is reversed. Here are pics of the ACS diffuser on my old car.
