A diffuser system for a compressor for a gas turbine engine, the compressor having an impeller and the gas turbine engine having a combustor and a fuel injector proximate to the combustor, includes a first diffuser and a second diffuser. The first diffuser is configured to receive compressed air from the impeller. The second diffuser is coupled to receive the compressed air from the first diffuser. The second diffuser comprises a housing comprising a first wall and a second wall. The first and second walls form a diffuser flow passage therebetween. The first wall or the second wall, or both, further form an opening through the first and second walls for the fuel injector to pass through when removed from the combustor.
