A deswirler system for a centrifugal compressor of a gas turbine engine that improves overall engine performance as a result of exhibiting significantly reduced friction losses. The deswirler system generally entails an annular- shaped manifold (122) having an inlet configured to receive radially-outward flowing gas from a diffuser (116) of the compressor, an outlet configured to discharge the gas in an axial downstream direction, and an arcuate passage (124) therebetween. The deswirler system further includes a plurality of deswirler vanes (126, 136, 142, 150) directly within the arcuate passage (12 4) and closely coupled to the diffuser (116).
