Did you bought/ordered the diffuser from Schmiedmann? If you did, I feel sorry for you... 
I have it and the fitment sucked big time before I modded it.

If you have the rear self-leveling option then you need to move the compressor or have the exhaust pipe to go around the compressor. I moved in my car for a cleaner install.

I actually did relocate the compressor (with some help from Tiago) behind the rear bumper only to conclude that the duplex Remus system I had ordered didn't need the compressor to be relocated. This Remus system uses a tube that is ran behind the rear bumper for the right tailpipes. Indeed, where I had put the compressor... 
So I relocated the darn thing back to it's original location. A lot of effort has been put into this and it was all in vain. On the plus side, I do have some pictures of when it was behind the bumper.
The complete endeavours of relocating the compressor and mounting the exhaust can be seen here .

Glad i could help with your install. I didn't realized your true plans before. We chose different routes because i wanted performance, weight savings and looks, and you more for looks. I have a true dual exhaust system and you kept the oem setup and only split the flow at the tips. Your left is less restrictive and flow better that the right. Not saying that your system is wrong, just not the best for performance wise. But is definetly a better trouble free solution than mine.
